From its humble beginning in 1970 in a hotel ballroom, the San Diego Comic Con has gone from the largest comic book-related event in the US, to contender for one of the largest all-around entertainment events.
At the San Diego Convention Center (111 W. Harbor Dr., San Diego, CA 92101) from July 12th - 16th, 2012, Comic Con will again be gracing us with news from industry giants and comic authors. In recent years however, many have griped that the event has become too bloated and is now more about movie studios pushing hot new properties instead of a con where you can meet comic book writers and artists.
