The biggest Party! The best costumes! Celebrities, Comics, fantasy, gaming, adventure, art, Food, and more at Salt Lake Comic Con 2014!
Just part of the South floor displays and venues of Comic Con 2014 in Salt Lake
Salt Lakes Comic Con falls nothing short of literally the best and most amazing experience that people can go and enjoy for 3 days straight. There is so much to do, so much to see, and more food, toys, games, souvenirs to buy, famous actors to see or meet, and fun to be had than anyone can possibly imagine. And if you think that you saw it all last year and don’t need to see it again this year, THINK AGAIN!

Salt Lakes Comic Con at the Salt Palace is twice the size this year. They used half the floor space last year, and this year they are using all of the floor space the Palace has to offer. Yep, every single inch is covered with everything imaginable. There are vendors at every turn with amazing products, Weta Workshop is displayed with a giant Smog (Dragon) blinking and looking around peering down at (us) small people as we walk passed. And one of my favorite sections is Kid Con. Kids and adults will enjoy this section filled with life size Chipmunks, robots to remote control, a star wars ensemble to never forget, and much more.
We were able to attend a special “pre-con” press conference and meet a few of the stars that will be there this weekend. Here are some of the pictures. Some of them were Barbara Eden, Bill Daily, Manu Bennett, and Lou Ferrigno. Also there were Craig Parker, Vic Mignogna, Gigi Edgley, Erin Gray, Victor Joseph “Vic” Mignogna, Rob Prior and more!

Whether you love horses and riding off into the sunset, or you are a comic king who can’t wait until the Dark Knight finally meets his match. The world of comics has something to offer for everyone. From murder mystery, graphic battles, trolls, mages, sorcerers, swords, dragons, giants, superheroes, villains, bow & arrows, mythical legends, and much more, to Lego’s, robots, video games, prince and princesses, and many more child friendly themed activities and adventures; there is no leaving any one out. Over the years comic books and their artists have laid the paving stones and defined the way that modern life is imagined, enjoyed, created, and lived. The comic industry has affected virtually everyone and everything. The industry is centered around entertainment, and because people can relate to good and bad, most people enjoy the hero and villain factor that is brought into a very large part of the world of entertainment.
