WonderCon, the sister convention to the San Diego Comic Con, has become a festive fixture in the SoCal comic book convention scene since 2011. Originating in the Bay Area during the late 80s, WonderCon has since moved to Anaheim where its seen expononetial growth due in large part to the massive popularity of comic book film and TV adaptations. The immense mainstream appeal of franchises like The Avengers, Batman, X-Men, Spider-Man, and more have also contributed to a thriving cosplay scene. It was not unusual to see cosplayers bring and dress up their children this year in spirit of the event.

WonderCon 2016 will be held at the LA Convention Center.
