The annual comics and pop culture event starts today and 1st District City Councilman Robert Garcia will be side by side with Superman, The Hulk and a regiment of Stormtroopers giving fans the command to "engage!"
And Comic Con organizers are hoping plenty of fans do just that. More than 10,000 are expected at this year's event.
Garcia will also be on hand with artist Tim Bradstreet and actor-director Thomas Jane from "Dark Country" and the HBO series "Hung" for an official shoe opening ceremony at 12:45 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
Convention hours on Friday are 1 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Hundreds of creators from comics, television, animation and film are expected over the three days. Catch a quick list in the posts below this one.
Maybe we'll see you there.
