I’ve been to dozens of expos, conventions, festivals, and the like over the years, but my favorite type of events have always been comic book conventions. From the dozens of vendors selling unique items and hard-to-find collectibles to the amazingly talented cosplayers to meeting your favorite artists and writers, I’ve always enjoyed my time at the various comic book conventions I’ve attended. In recent years, they’ve become larger pop culture events in which film studios screen their latest films and trailers, cast members come out for intimate Q&As, and con attendees get their exclusive sneak peeks at everything the world will be talking about later that week.
San Diego Comic Con has grown to become the comic book convention to go to in the United States, and while I wasn’t in attendance this past weekend (SDCC ’17, my eyes are on you), I’ve compiled some of the weekend’s best highlights. Whether you’re a dedicated comic book fan waiting to hear what Marvel and DC have up their sleeves, a film fan excited for the first glimpses at 2016’s top superhero films, or just really enjoy good cosplay, we have you covered! Also, check out the Suicide Squad footage if you haven’t yet!
