The 2nd annual Wizard World Comic Con came through this past weekend and packed the Sacramento Convention Center full of cosplayers, gamers and fan girls and boys alike. Many people who inhabit the convention are fans of video games, sci-fi television and anything fantasy. The word cosplay comes from the words costume and play. People attending love to dress up as their favorite characters as a kind of performance art.
Comic Con comes through town once a year and brings celebrities both large and small. Many attend the convention for celebrity autographs or have their photographs taken with a favorite television star. Some of the celebrities included Jason Mewes (Clerks), Billie Piper (Doctor Who), Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange).
The 3 day convention was in town from June 19th – June 21rst. For more information about Wizard World Comic Con you can visit their website here.
