Comic Con Returns to Philadelphia

"Avengers" star, Chris Hemsworth, Stan Lee, "Star Trek" captains headline weekend-long convention

From skin-tight Spiderman costumes to human-size Autobots, anything and everything should be expected at the Pennsylvania Convention Center this weekend.

Wizard World’s Philadelphia Comic Con is taking over the Center City from Thursday to Sunday. The convention is committed to celebrating the history, culture and achievements of comic books, pop culture, graphic novels, movies and television by bringing stars from all fields to town.

Chris Hemsworth is the main attraction this year. Hemsworth is known for playing Thor in the hit movie The Avengers and for his role in the most recent Star Trek film.

Spiderman (and plenty of other great comic characters) creator Stan Lee, actress Shannon Elizabeth and actor Bruce Campbell are some of the few celebrities, among many, that will also attend the event.

Children and adults are welcomed to dress up in their favorite costume for the chance to win prizes.
