Sounds like one of those "free concert only if you buy a drink ticket that costs $15" type thing.

I can't remember the source, but I remember reading about Comitia being different from Comiket. It's likely to be more centered on original stuffs than fan derivative works.
I don't think that western works are likely to get Dojinshi's because they lack serious fanbase to create deviant works and Japanese licensee are bound by contract to allow such thing.
Anyway, I think Comitia is very similar to creator-centered comic book conventions here. I want to see works of talented western artists to get notice in Japan for their narratives, not just their art.

Comitia is just for creator owned works so you wont see any fanworks there, unless the creator of a manga draws his/her own series, which a lot do.
Comiket, and other large doujin shows like it, usually have a large section for fandoms based on overseas works. Mainly American tv shows and movies but a lot of BBC shows get doujin too. The last doujin festa I went to here had a huge XMen:FC and Sherlock tv/Sherlock Holmes movies section. Supernatural and Boondocks Saints aren't new but they both have a pretty good fanbase and doujin showing as well.
