Los Angeles Comic Con was held in Los Angeles, CA at the Los Angeles Convention Center this past weekend (Sept. 26-28). It’s a wonderful event that was previously known as Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo back in the day.
LACC is a great convention where you can experience it all. There are tons of comics to check out (from old to new), awesome merch to satisfy your fandom cravings, admire some amazing cosplays, and just geek over all your favorite shows and games with your friends and family.
This year, the convention took over a majority of the convention center: South Hall, Kantai Hall, West Hall, upstairs (for the panels), outside areas for food, and even the little in-between hall (for HORROR).
