Los Angeles Comic Con

There’s no shortage of pop culture conventions, but not many local ones can rival the annual Los Angeles Comic Con. The convention draws thousands of comic fans to Downtown L.A. for an epic three-day expo. This year, expect comic book panels, anime screenings and celebrity appearances, including Matt Smith, Jamie Campbell Bower, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Erin Moriarty. Make sure to come in costume for the geek couture fashion show and cosplay contest.
