What to Know
- Pasadena Comic Con at the Pasadena Convention Center
- Sunday, Jan. 28
- $15 general admission; $25 early admission
Ask a superhero if his cape is warm and he may demonstrate its versatility right on the spot, turning it into a snuggly scarf, cozy wrap, and, if it is especially ensorcelled, a long overcoat.
It seems like such a magical cape might be needed on the final Sunday of January, when several superheroes and other fanciful characters, the sorts of figures that fill the worlds of anime, movies, and TV with wonder, gather at the Pasadena Convention Center.
That's where the one-day-only, fly-by-and-enjoy Pasadena Comic Con will take place. And no, if you don't have a cape or the ability to leap over tall buildings, you can take the Metro, which stops at the nearby Del Mar Station.
