Comic-Con 2018: 10 things that wowed us in the exhibit hall in San Diego
A life-sized Thanos made out of Legos? “Mystery eggs?” The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Steven Adam has a comic book?
Just another year at Comic-Con.
For four days during the annual event, the San Diego Convention Center is a treasure trove of everything pop culture fans love: comics, super heroes, super villains, video games, movies, TV shows, books and more.
The exhibit hall is the heart and soul of Comic-Con. It’s a maze of art, interactive displays and celebrity autograph signings. To take you inside the madness, we found 10 things that excited us in the exhibit hall on Friday.
