“Just like Wolverine, the Long Beach Comic & Horror Con team are some of the best there are at what they do -- and what they do is put on a great show, “ says Rick Marshall.  “I'm honored and excited to be a part of this year's convention, and I can't wait to get on the floor and add a new dimension to the convention experience. “
Marshall adds “Everyone knows I love a good conversation that's heavy on the geekery, and there's going to be no shortage of that all weekend, thanks to the LBCC crew. This year's convention is going to be something special, folks - count on it. See you in Long Beach!”
