Ok so Salt Lake Comic Con ended on Saturday the 7th of September with some huge numbers.

50,000 tickets sold for the 3 day event.

A huge list of Celebs including:

Stan Lee

William Shatner

Lou Ferrigno

Adam West

Burt Ward

Henry Winkler

And a very long list of other guests.

On Saturday the last day of the show the event sold out, the local fire marshals
stepped in and said they could not let anymore attendees in until people
left (the convention had exceeded the occupancy limit of our largest
convention center) the count from the fire marshal was 70 to 80,000
people.

I have read that the SLCCC now holds the record as the largest inaugural Comic Con in the nation and is being listed as number 5 in the top 5 cons (with reference to attendance) for this year.

We
had WETA make their first appearance at a con outside of SDCC
(According to WETA they have never gone to any con other than SDCC)

Thank you for reading and sharing this cool news for Utah and Salt Lake City.

Now
I did want to share this, I took with me a Hulk Through the Ages boxset
with the intent to see if I could have Stan and Lou Ferrigno sign it,
Unfortunately I was only able to get Lou to sign it as I had to leave
before Stan, here is my boxset:
