Wizard World Comic Con comes to Cleveland this week, with guest appearances by William Shatner, Taryn Manning, and maybe some comics folks too. “Comic Con is the generic term for the kind of show that we do,” explains Wizard World Comic Con Public Relations Manager Jerry Milani. “It’s a celebration of pop culture. So while the term at first makes people think of just comics, and it’s still certainly about comics, it’s all elements of pop culture.”
