New poster for ‘The Hobbit’ being handed out at Comic-Con 2012

If you're going to San Diego Comic-Con, then you're a lucky bastard. On Peter Jackson's Facebook page — he is directing The Hobbit, by the way — he gave a sneak peek at the exclusive Comic-Con 2012 poster for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The new poster features Gandalf walking through what looks to be The Shire, with a ray of sunlight breaking through the clouds just over his shoulder. It's… beautiful.

Gandalf looks like he's ready for business, and this poster is sure to remind you to not take him for some conjuror of cheap tricks (if you get that reference then you get five points). Feel free to get in touch with me via Twitter if you want to be a nice guy and give me your Comic-Con The Hobbit poster.
