Breaking UTA ridership records, hundreds of thousands of attendees and sold-out venues: only one convention can brag about those kind of results in Utah. And that is Salt Lake Comic Con.

Superman steps off the train at the TRAX station, brushing off debris from his padded muscles. Hagrid crosses the intersection, adjusting his layers of heavy winter coats and re-attaching a long curly beard. The Powerpuff Girls quickly run up the sidewalk, selfie stick in hand, documenting their entire journey from the car to the Salt Palace. A few Jedi almost get run over as they try to cross the street to enter the convention.
