Bruce Campbell makes it look easy

The first panel of the day in Ballroom 20 was for USA Network's "Burn Notice." On hand were Creator Matt Nix, Executive Producer Alfredo Barrios, Director/Guest Star Tim Matheson and Star Bruce Campbell.

Campbell is very popular with Comic-Con fans due to his long list of genre credits including the "Evil Dead" movies, "Hercules" and "Xena."

While everyone was there to discuss "Burn Notice," it didn't take long for the panel to become The Bruce Campbell Show.

A long running gag is that Campbell rewards complimentary audience members with money.This year he paid off quite a few fans and USA Network executive Jeff Wachtel when he announced that Sam Axe would be getting a prequel movie.

Nix also revealed that Matheson's hilarious character "Dead" Larry would be returning later in the season.

Nix showed up later during the "White Collar" panel to challenge its writers to game paintball. "White Collar" producer Jeff Eastin then revealed that the two staffs have pranked each other in the past.

The panel also featured "Ask a Spy" videos geared towards Comic-Con, with Michael and Jesse giving fans spy tips made specifically for Comic-Con.

It's always a fun time when Bruce Campbell takes over the spotlight and this year he did not disappoint. This panel provided a great start to an afternoon of USA Network panels.
