Comicpalooza 2014 is in full swing

Comicpalooza 2014 is officially here. Consider it the mecca, a pilgrimage if you will, of comic book and fantasy enthusiasts from around the world. From May 23-26, stars and fans alike will take over the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston in all their costumed glory.

Topping the guest list is Stan Lee, who is practically the godfather of the modern comic book world. He created nearly every major Marvel comic book character in the past 40 years, including ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Fantastic Four.’ Many TV stars, including the Incredible Hulk himself, will also be on hand. Check out the entire celebrity lineup here.

New on the agenda this year is the Science Faction series. The brightest minds in the space industry, including NASA astronaut Stan Love and NASA scientist Sue Lederer, will discuss everything from aliens to pioneering space colonies.

The George R. Brown Convention Center is located at 1001 Avenida de las Americas. The convention will be open Friday-Sunday 9 a.m.-2 a.m.; Monday’s hours are 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Single-day passes range $20-$35 for adults and $10-12 for children 6-12. Four-day passes range $55-$300 for adults and $12-18 for children 6-12.
