Visitors will get a chance to meet local comic book artists Raymond Mullikin, Dan Parsons, Sara Sydnor, and Kane Lynch, and attend comic book talks and demonstrations. Fans can also check out the gaming room and photo booth.
Lord Vader and Imperial soldiers from the 501st Legion will make an appearance between 9 and 11 a.m.
Costumes are encouraged.
