Essay --

Zachariah Stottlemyre Prof. Steve Moore Eng. 101 10/27/2013 San Diego Comic-Con. Is it worth it? The San Diego Comic-Con is one of the largest events in the California bay area. Over 130,000 people attended this event last year alone. People all over the United states travel to visit this one week long event. Many come to showcase their skill as artists in many genres, hoping to find dream jobs, and to return next year as a booth vendor. Many people come hoping to spend hard earned dollars on comic books, movie paraphernalia, and much more. Many even blow all vacation days on this.

Many have the opportunity to meet an actor, or talk to them in a discussion board, or even the chance to meet a creator of one of their favorite comics, and possibly find the purchase of a life time. When many first hear about Comic-Con all they think about is a bunch of nerds piling up in a gym to look at comic books and argue about who is better DC or Marvel. Many are partial to one or the other, so it was surely a fight for the ages. Then as the event began to take off and become more mainstream people began to take notice that is so much more than a compilation of comic books and nerds. Now it is an international event that draws people from all across the entire world. To begin with the event is in fact held in the San Diego Convention Center which has approximately 1,378,803 sq ft to host vendors, ticketing, panel conversations, etc. This leaving such a large opportunity to view several different booths, panels, and other exciting sites without too much over crowding and constant up in your face conversations. This alone makes the event worth spending ... ...e having enjoyed yourself, you must not of attended.
