The 2014 Comic-Con will be rolling in to town this weekend with thousands of fans from all over the Midwest. Comic fans throughout the Midwest flock to Columbus in order to meet a famous comic writer, comic artist, or actor from famous comic movies and television series.
If you are moving to Columbus this October and love comic books and films, be sure to visit Jim Ferguson and have him draw your favorite movie scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, and hundreds of other films.
Or, check out Troma Film Company’s stand with over 100 rare horror and exploitation DVDs for sale, such as: Toxic Avenger, Bikini Swamp Girl Massacre, Tromeo and Juliet, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Another cool stand at Comic-Con is Demarcus Young of Blade Daddy’s display of real-life versions of all your favorite monstrous swords and knives that can be found in comics, cartoons, and horror movies. For sale, you can buy Star Trek’s Klingon characters’ “bat’leth” for $65, or a 40-pound Final Fantasy or The Legend of Zelda slicer.
Comic book prices range from $1 to tens of thousands of dollars for rare copies of Superman and Batman that date back to the 1940s.
Attendants can either choose to come in costume or buy their favorite comic T-shirt to wear there.
Columbus Comic-Con will continue throughout the Halloween weekend, into the beginning of the first week of November.
