San Diego Comic-Con is a multi-genre entertainment and comic book convention held annually in San Diego, California. 

The four-day event is a celebration of comic books, films, television shows, anime, manga, video games, and all things pop culture. Attendees can also see their favorite stars up close, ask questions and get autographs. Every year, the number of attendees grows as hundreds of thousands of people join in the fun.

Over the years, Comic-Con has seen an amazing array of comics and book publishers in its Exhibit Hall and has become the focal point for the world of comics conventions.
