It's that time of year again: Our annual pilgrimage to sunny San Diego for the biggest event in the sci-fi fan's calendar.
San Diego Comic-Con is, without a shadow of doubt, the king of conventions, the grandfather of pop culture gatherings and a sacred shrine for all things sci-fi.
Started in the 70s as an annual gathering for all fans of the comic genre, the event slowly but steadily built a loyal following as television and's main event was in a small room with only a cardboard cut-out of Iron Man. However, this was the last of the calm before the storm and from this moment onwards, the event began to really gather momentum. It's safe to say that the juggernaut had reached full speed by 2010; in fact, that year is widely regarded as the best SDCC ever.
