From superheroes to villains to intergalactic missions, comic books allow readers to travel to new worlds and have fantastic adventures. It is no surprise that there are so many fans of comic books, especially fans of superheroes. In order to celebrate the world of comic books and the people who love them, the San Diego Comic-Con was created. This year, Comic-Con will once again be held at the San Diego Convention Center and it will take place from Thursday, July 9th through Sunday, July 12th.
All of the great things that you have come to expect from Comic-Con will be happening again this year. There will be exhibits, a gallery show on classic comic book covers, awards, and the opportunity to meet some of your favorite cartoonists and writers. In addition to the usual festivities, there will be a new exhibit that Comic-Con international is happily presenting. It is entitled, “The Art of Comic-Con” located at the gallery exhibit. Partnering with the San Diego Public Library, this exhibit will bring together comics, movies, and science fiction fans to celebrate art that is shown through comics. Another great thing about Comic-Con is that you can meet other comic fans, dress up as your favorite characters, and have fun!
