Hundreds of fans are in Phoenix for the opening day of Phoenix Fan Fusion, the comic book convention and pop culture event.
The Valley's annual comic book convention opened on Friday and has brought Marvel stars, Star Wars stars and even Dick Van Dyke to downtown Phoenix.
Many other actors, authors, comic book artists, and cosplayers are set to make appearances at the convention, which runs through Sunday. "The unique thing about Fan Fusion, we try to get people together who wouldn’t normally interact and make new friendships, make new family-ships in a sense," Fan Fusion spokesperson Brandon LaVorgna said."We have a lot of regional and local cosplayers that are here. So you can come and see people.
