(NBC News) Following Wednesday evening’s brief preview, Comic-Con makes the jump to light speed Thursday when the first full day of events kicks-off in San Diego.
A celebration of what’s hot in comic books, film, TV, video games, costumes and collectibles, the four-day festival is expected to attract more than 130,000 fans to the San Diego convention center and environs.
Fan-boys and -girls will flock to the big events – especially the cast reveals and sneak peeks of highly-aniticipated blockbuster movies. This year’s titles lighting up the pop cutlure radar include “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Antman,” Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” and the final installment of the latest Tolkien-based trilogy, “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.”
