WELCOME! Welcome to the 10th Annual Tucson Comic-Con – our biggest yet!

I am humbled and amazed at the growth of Tucson

Comic-Con. From its humble beginnings to now,

countless people have contributed to its growth, success

and evolution. I cannot thank everyone enough for their

vast contribution.

Tucson Comic-Con is about you! We are committed to

bringing you a pop cultural experience like no other in

Southern Arizona. We have TV and movie celebrities,

comic book creators, artist, costume groups, photo ops,

games, panels, and a Kid Zone. There are cool things

to do in every corner and we are certain you will make

happy memories here!

On behalf of the staff of Tucson Comic-Con, thank you

for supporting us because without you there would be no

Tucson Comic-Con.

We are eternally grateful!

Mike Olivares
