According to Comic-Con's official Web site, "Comic-Con is the largest comic book and pop culture event in North America." This annual event is famous for major blockbuster movie previews, celebrity sightings and exclusive collectibles only available to Comic-Con attendees.
In 2007, over 125,000 visitors came to the San Diego Convention Center over four days. Multi-day and single day passes sold out days in advance.
