It’s Wednesday in San Diego, California. The sun is shining, a cool breeze is blowing, taxis whir by, and hotels see an influx of graphic t-shirt wearing, costuming carrying, excited comic and pop culture fans. It’s time for Comic-Con International: San Diego.

A day before the show opens to thousands and thousands of attendees, the convention hall is still abuzz with activity. Attendees are already waiting in line to pick up badges, try desperately for a glimpse of the action, and even consider getting in line now for panels in the famous/infamous, glorious/notorious Hall H.

Inside vendors, exhibitors, and artists are getting ready for the influx of business. They are rapidly putting together extravagant displays with massive backdrops, incredible props, gorgeous artwork, and highly coveted exclusives.

Excitement levels are high as everybody gets ready to open the doors tomorrow for Comic-Con.
