The most important geek convention of the year has begun and like in previous editions, badges and tickets sold out quickly. This is why, here we show you 7 side events of this convention where you don’t need any admission tickets, so that you can enjoy Comic-Con in all of its glory.

Comic-Con Museum

For obvious reasons we cannot ignore the museum, which is an extension of the convention with incredible art, temporary exhibitions, activities, and even projections. It has an endless number of wonders for geek fans without the need for a ticket. Before the event, new exhibitions opened: one is about the art of My Hero Academia and another one is about the life and legacy of Marvel Comics creator, Stan Lee.

This will open on Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM and on Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
