Comic-Con International
From Brass Goggles
Comic-Con International: San Diego, commonly known as Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con, is an annual multigenre fan convention. Traditionally a four-day event (Thursday through Sunday with a four hour preview night on Wednesday which is open to guests pre-registered for all four days) held during the summer in San Diego, California, at the San Diego Convention Center. Comic-Con is both the name of the annual event and the common name of the organization.
Originally showcasing comic books, science fiction/fantasy and film/television, and related popular arts, the convention has since expanded over the years to include a larger range of pop culture elements, such as horror, anime, manga, animation, toys, collectible card games, video games and webcomics. The convention is the largest of its kind in the world, filling to capacity the San Diego Convention Center.
