Some may dismiss Comic-Con International as a geekfest, but the true fans know that it’s four days of fun when they can meet industry stars and play in a fantasy land, all in downtown San Diego . Packed with events from autograph signings to film screenings to costume competitions (and many people show up in costume), this celebration of popular arts is a behemoth convention.
Dive into the spectacle and see what you can find. But by all means, don’t get so focused on specifics that you miss some serious people watching for the fun of it. It’ll also give you costume ideas for future Comic-Con years
