GalaxyCon bringing superhero, sci-fi and horror icons to San Jose

An Avenger, Capt. Kirk and Ivan Drago will be in downtown San Jose this weekend as GalaxyCon returns for its second year.

The “festival of fandom”, which opens Friday afternoon and runs through Sunday at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, is expected to draw more than 30,000 people over the weekend — including many cosplayers whose elaborate outfits will make for great people-watching.
