Each year, thousands of pop culture enthusiasts, celebrities, artists, vendors and of course, nerds, flock to San Diego for Comic-Con International. This year isn't any different. Comic-Con is traditionally a four-day event (Thursday through Sunday) not including a four-hour preview night on Wednesday that is open to professionals, exhibitors, and some guests pre-registered for all four days.

The event is not just limited to comic books, but also showcases the latest in all forms of entertainment. There are panels, movie screenings, workshops, autograph signings, a costume ball, and hundreds of booths to view and/or shop at. It is a perfect way to see the creative marketing ideas companies come up with.

This year, Comic-Con is being held July 21st - 24th at the San Diego Convention Center. Digitaria's headquarters are located in East Village, just a few blocks from the main event. It is going to be an exciting four days!

    Tom Siebert

    @tomsiebert

    Tom read "Watchmen" and "The Dark Knight Returns" in their original run, thinks the first 24 issues or so of "American Flagg!" is the best string of comics ever and Paul Pope's "Batman: Year 100" is the best comic of the past five years. A longtime heroic journalist before joining the villianous world of PR, you can read his 2002 Citypaper interview with Frank Miller here.
