Space City Comic Con, Houston

With a nickname like Space City, it's no wonder that Houston attracts a full fleet of star travelers. Or, at least it does during the three-day festival known as Space City Comic Con. The convention forms an intergalactic bridge between fans and the stars of science fiction, fantasy, and pop culture at large. Comic book creators, actors, writers, and even William Shatner himself chat about their careers and mingle with attendees or the holograms sent in their place. When not hobnobbing with characters from the likes of Star Trek, Game of Thrones, and Once Upon A Time, convention guests check out comics, video games, tabletop games, and a lot more.
