San Diego Comic Con 2016 ‘s Preview Night was packed with lots of exciting things to see, do, and experience. There’s always something for everyone at the show for every age. Whether you love comics, collectibles, movies and television shows, or stars, you will not run out of things to see and do. Con attendees have multiple options to attend celebrity and comic panels, contests, and demonstrations, as well as meet up with their favorite comic and movie characters.
There’s also many amazing and rare one of a kind pieces of comic book art, pop ephemera, as well as film props and costumes from some of your favorite films and franchises.
I did not attend the show as press this year or last due to my injury, but hopefully in 2017, I can attend the show as press and give everyone the complete and more in depth coverage they have come to expect 🙂 .
