The most passionate Spider-Men, Storm Troopers, Harry Potters and other pop-culture fanatics are headed to San Diego for their annual pilgrimage.
Comic-Con, the country's biggest comic-book convention, begins tomorrow at the San Diego Convention Center.
More than 100,000 people a day are expected during the four-day convention. They'll try out the latest video games, seek out collectible books and toys, restock their T-shirt and costume collections and get a preview of anticipated films and TV shows.
Among the big-screen previews contending for early buzz this year are "Watchmen," an adaptation of the graphic novel by "300" director Zack Snyder, and "Terminator Salvation," the long-awaited new installment in the franchise.
