Long Beach Comic & Horror Con

Don't expect a crew of A-list celebrities and blockbuster screenings at Long Beach Comic & Horror Con—you can leave all that fanfare to San Diego. But do anticipate the chance to nerd out with some cult favorite illustrators, writers and actors at two full days of panels, workshops and costume contests. Of course, it wouldn't be a proper con without lengthy lines, so lace up a comfortable pair of sneakers underneath that Loki ensemble.
