San Diego Comic Con
The New York Times

Every year in July, thousands of fans gather in San Diego to cosplay, hear the latest news about their newest and oldest obsessions, and meet the many stars that also attend the event. The event hosts fans of comic books, television series, podcasts, books, movies in and out of franchises, etc. over the course of 4 days.

At this year's Comic Con, trailers for upcoming movies this summer and 2017 were shown. Among those movie trailers were second trailers for Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and a new Suicide Squad trailer. Of the movie trailers showed for the first time at Comic Con, the trailers for Wonder Woman and Justice League received the biggest reaction. Both trailers were quickly trending worldwide after premiering at the Con.

Trailers weren't the only news released about new movies and television series. Casts of upcoming Marvel movies were revealed and additions to casts of popular television shows were announced.

Along with movies, Comic Con is filled with panels and interviews with the stars of the many fandoms. These panels are where fans can ask the actors, writers, and producers any questions they want and they usually result in some pretty funny moments. Some shows announced their final seasons while others released trailers for the upcoming year.

Attendees often dress up, also known as cosplay, for the event, and the stars are also included. There are always a hand full of celebrities that will walk the floors of the convention completely in disguise.

The San Diego Comic Con is the largest convention of it's kind in the world according to Forbes. It is additionally the largest convention that takes place in San Diego. With 167,000 people in attendance last year, the con continues to grow in popularity. And with this weekend, another San Diego Comic Con has come and gone.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
