Comic Con 2019

Comic Con has always been known as an event which showcases comic books and pop culture entertainment. Through the years, Comic Con has expanded its material and, as a result, its audience. The sixth annual Indianapolis Comic Con took place Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 at the Indianapolis Convention Center. From Harry Potter wands to Game Of Thrones swords, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

 

The Indiana Convention Center was bustling with Comic Con attendees all day long.  With 150 booths and multiple celebrities, visitors were kept busy.
