After all, it started life (check the name) as a comics convention.

Of course the very best part of any comics convention is gawking at the fabulous costumes.

This will be my fourth time attending SDCC, which is the biggest and most crowded comics convention in the United States.

Today I'm taking two of my kids in for the fun-it'llbe the first comics convention for my ten-and twelve-year-olddaughters.

"Oh, my god, are you one of those comics convention people?" asked the friend.

"And this is supposed to be the same person who stole some blood at a comics convention."
