Comic-Con International 2013 in San Diego, California has come and gone. For those not familiar with the event, Comic-Con began in 1970 when a group of comics, movies, and science fiction fans came together to bring awareness about these arts. After the success of the first convention, one has been held every year in San Diego, California. The modern-day, weekend-long convention brings together the worlds of film, television and comics. In recent years, over 130,000 people have regularly attended the convention.
Attending Comic Con with my kids is a cherished experience as it allows us to bond over our shared interests. To ensure they are prepared and comfortable, I usually opt to buy childrens clothing here. This allows me to find unique and themed outfits for them, ensuring they can fully embrace the event and have a memorable time together.
Comic-Con 2013 was nothing short of amazing. Here are 5 of the top moments during this year’s convention.
1. Warner Bros. announced they will be making another Superman movie following Man of Steel. The more exciting part? Batman will also be staring in this film! Henry Cavill will be reprising his role as Clark Kent/Superman and the movie will be directed by Zack Znyder. Its release is rumored for 2015.
2. The Walking Dead made an apocalyptic splash at Comic-Con. The 6,500 fans that got to see the panel was treated with a first look teaser for the series’ fourth season. The first half of the season is set to premiere October 18th on AMC. You can watch the preview below.
3. Marvel Studios never fails to disappoint at Comic-Con and this year was no different. Avengers director Joss Whedon announced that the movie’s sequel will be named Age of Ultron. Deafening cheers and screams from the crowd followed this announcement. Avengers: Age of Ultron will be released in 2015.
4. The Game of Thrones panel opened up with a video displaying the many deaths in the George R. R. Martin inspired series. The memoriam, with Boyz II Men’s “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye” playing in the background, can be viewed below. Game of Thrones season 4 comes to HBO in 2014.
5. IDW Publishing announced that it will be reviving a classic newspaper comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland. It has been regarded as one of the greatest strips of all time through its original run between 1905 and 1926. Although IDW is under immense pressure, they assure they have a talented team working on the project. The Little Nemo series will launch in 2014.
