It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Salt Lake Comic Con is upon us once again. This Thursday, Friday and Saturday, more than 100,000 people will descend on the Salt Palace for panels, parties, cosplay, shopping and more. From Doctor Who to Star Wars: Rebels, My Little Pony to Captain America, fandoms across the entire geek spectrum will be able to find something perfect for them.

Where have we been recently? Regular life had to take priority for a couple months, but now it’s time to embrace the nerd within us again, and Salt Lake Comic Con is the perfect place to charge our batteries. This week, expect a few tips articles before you go to the Con. During the Con, we’ll be recording podcasts and tweeting some of the fun that we’ll experience. And then be sure to check back next week for panel recaps, videos, and cosplay galleries. We appreciate each of you and hope to be able to see some of you this week.

Be sure to follow us @comiccontips on Twitter and on Facebook to see what’s going on during the Con and maybe we’ll even be able to meet up! Excelsior!

To tide you over until Thursday, here’s a highlight video that we made during Salt Lake Comic Con FanX in January.

Tim Bennett

Writer at ComicCon.tips

Quite frankly, Tim is a 17-year-old trapped in a 30-something-year-old’s body. He loves good TV – by which he means something with a good serialized storyline – and movies, and spends many of his nights immersed in a gloriously complex video game. He’s a firm believer that Lost was the greatest show ever made, and that includes the ending. Oh, and Tim is a staunch defender of the Ewoks and their place in the Star Wars canon. You can listen to Tim on the Whatever Makes You Weird podcast, check out his opinions about upcoming movies in our Trailerpark Tuesday segments, and find his reporting about cons and all things nerd-ish on Comic Con Tips.
