Comic Con, as expected, was full of things to enjoy as its international reputation.
Since we were heading straight to the convention center after eating, we didn’t bother to buy snacks and passed through the entrance with only two bottles of water in our hands.
“Wow… It’s really amazing.”
“Right?”
As I entered the huge lobby that reminded me of an airport, countless people who had already entered filled my view.
In fact, it feels like the density of people has increased compared to the streets outside.
Jeong Soo-jin, who was looking at her smartphone as if searching for something, grabbed my arm.
“Let’s go this way first!”
“Do you know where you are going?”
“Hehe… Just trust me!”
I went up to the second floor lobby with Sujin Jeong holding my arm.
There was a large booth there, handing out what appeared to be souvenirs to visitors.
“After searching, I found that I need to take care of these first!”
“Why are they distributed on the second floor instead of at the entrance?”
“Well, is it because I’m afraid the entrance will become too crowded?”
As I got closer to the booth, I could see in detail the items being handed out by people who appeared to be the organizer’s staff.
A bag reminiscent of a huge eco bag or cross bag. And they were thin leaflets that appeared to be guidebooks.
When I opened the bag, which had been folded to reduce its size, there was a drawing of a villain from a famous hero movie.
“Wow! Cute!”
The bag that Jeong Soo-jin held was a design filled with cute two-headed characters. The design of the bag probably seemed random.
We followed the guide next to us, put various souvenirs in our bags and made room for other visitors.
“Then shall we start looking around in earnest?”
Jeong Soo-jin said, hanging the pass around her neck using the string she had just received and carrying a large bag almost as big as her torso over her shoulder.
I had a soft smile on my face as I saw that cute sight of him speaking with his hands on his hips.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Inside the convention center on the first floor, which I entered to take a closer look, there were a variety of booths.
From hero movies I had vaguely imagined, comics-related goods, photo zones, to exhibitions of manic horror movies and horror games.
I knew that the exhibition was mainly about comics and movies, but seeing it cover such a wide range in reality, I was amazed.
“Wow, oppa, let’s take a picture over there!”
Jeong Soo-jin ran towards the huge figure that was visible from afar.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a 1:1 scale Lego creation of an alien from a movie.
Numerous visitors were already taking pictures in front of the Lego work, which seemed to be easily over 3 meters tall.
“There are too many people… ”
Jeong Soo-jin couldn’t see any way to squeeze through the gap, so she just stamped her feet.
“It’s okay if you ask me to move out of the way.”
“Still… Uh… ?”
“Excuse me. I’ll pass by.”
I tightened my legs and back and made my way through the crowd.
The people who had gathered to see the work could not stop us from pushing in like a bulldozer.
As I secretly mixed my supernatural abilities and even released heat, the audience slowly distanced themselves from me with confused looks on their faces.
Of course, Su-jin Jeong, who did not know the situation, looked puzzled.
“Suddenly people are leaving their seats… ? Was America originally such a considerate country?”
“Well, anyway, there’s a spot available? Let’s take a quick picture and leave. Because there are other people too.”
“Yes!”
Jeong Soo-jin, with a bright smile on her face, eagerly took pictures.
I was also taking little photos and videos to upload to the channel later.
Although it’s convenient to do it through a live broadcast, it’s a bit difficult to work with Jeong Soo-jin alone, and there’s nothing good about the general public being exposed to the broadcast.
That’s how the first day of Comic Con went by.
We visited the convention center every day during Comic Con.
It is said that Comic Con passes are divided into those that can be used freely for one day and those that can be freely used for all four days. Fortunately, the pass I received from the old man was the latter.
After that, we didn’t hang out there all day like we did the first day, but just stopped by and visited other tourist attractions in San Diego. Although you could see slightly different exhibitions every day, most of them were similar.
I went to places I had never seen before in Balboa Park, and visited other parks and famous restaurants. Perhaps because it is a city with a long stretch of water right next to the sea, there are a lot of things to see mainly near the sea.
‘Come to think of it, I’ve never seen that old man at Comic Con.’
It may be that we didn’t encounter it because our viewing time was different, but as someone who had torn off the pass, I was a little concerned.
‘It’s not like I couldn’t come in because I got a pass, right?’
If that were the case, I would feel a little sorry.
‘Anyway, the news has quieted down a lot.’
While Jeong Soo-jin and I were wandering around here and there, preoccupied with sightseeing, the online world was quite buzzing.
The reason was none other than the riot incident that occurred a few days ago.
The influencer who caused the riot was investigated and what to do, but what caught my attention was not that pathetic guy, but the article about me.
An article about Ignis wearing a hero suit and suppressing rioters.
The content I checked using the smartphone’s automatic translation function was similar.
[An act of vigilantism that has crossed the line! How much should we tolerate?]
[“Suddenly, as I was walking down the street, that person hit me on the head.”]
[“I have cracked ribs and can’t work.”]
[A villain, not a hero? The violence hidden behind the Jjoljjol costume.]
At first, it appeared that I was beating up innocent citizens like they were criminals. Maybe that’s why pictures of my hero suit were floating around online as if I was looking for a criminal.
But such articles did not last long. In fact, I wouldn’t have found the articles I found if I hadn’t searched the page myself.
Except for the day the accident occurred, most of the articles criticizing me were taken down and interviews with citizens I helped fill the news.
[“I was assaulted by a man who was interviewed as a victim. If it weren’t for Ignis, I might have died.”]
[“That person saved me! Car doors were broken down and some people even broke into stores. Of course, those people ended up kissing the floor.”]
[The mysterious man who had already calmed down the situation before the police arrived! Was it a real hero, not a cosplay?]
‘It seems like someone is intentionally creating public opinion favorable to me.’
The same was true for the comments on the article.
-It could be a woman, not a man!
-Amazing news!
-Brother, if you think you are a woman even after looking at the picture, buy new glasses.
-San Diego? Why do real heroes appear in San Diego and not New York? The hero is New York!
-I love you Ignis!
-That drop is everything! Amazing moves and fantastic outfits.
‘Did that old man do something?’
It must be certain because the old man was the only one who gave me the name Ignis. Since he was the president of a leading company, he must have had a lot of money and it would have been easy to roast reporters.
The San Diego gaming console riot incident became a hot topic in Korea as well.
[A ridiculous riot taking place in the United States at this time]
An influencer said he was giving away game consoles for free, but when he saw that a lot of people had gathered, he got angry and the people gathered started a riot.
They wrecked cars, they fought among themselves, it was a total mess haha.
-Wow hahaha what kind of game console is causing the riots hahaha
-Amazing.
-I looked up the article and it said it was in San Diego.
Isn’t it Comic Con period now?
ㄴㅇㅇ That’s right
-Lee Min-ho also said he was going to see Comic Con, but isn’t he going to America for no reason and getting hurt?
Why isn’t that bastard on air? Fuck, it’s embarrassing.
-If there is a riot, don’t the police shoot?
[Real heroes who appear in real-time America]
(Video of Ignis subduing rioting citizens)
Lee Wae-jin?
-????
-Wow, what is it?
-Ah haha, there are a few heroes gathered there, but they chose the wrong place to start a riot haha.
ㄴㄹㅇㅋㅋ
Why are you a real hero?
-Ignis? I’m quite a hero fanatic, but this is my first time hearing about it.
Looks like he’s a self-made hero?
ㄴAs expected, the quality of Yang Deok-eun’s own work is different ㄷㄷ
Anyway, the eventful Comic Con schedule has passed, and the last day has arrived. The four-day Comic Con schedule is coming to a close.
“Today is the end. I saw almost everything, but something was disappointing.”
“That’s right. It was a very amazing experience.”
“From what I heard, there was something important announced today… ”
The place we were heading to now was a space separate from the exhibition hall.
It was a place where famous actors and producers went up on stage to explain and ask questions about upcoming works.
Murmur
The inside was already full of Comic Con attendees, including reporters. As always, I snuggled into the center of the audience, receiving their voluntary consideration.
“They say there are trailers for movies that are only shown here at Comic Con.”
“Oh, really? There is a reason why there are so many people.”
Even so, there may only be one or two scenes that don’t appear in the official trailer, but special treatment is always exciting.
While we were chatting about the Hollywood movies we had recently seen, the prepared panelists came up on stage.
When I checked the faces of the panelists, I made a noise without realizing it.
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong, oppa?”
“No, it seems like someone I’ve seen before somewhere.”
Jeong Soo-jin looked at the panelists coming up on stage and said.
“They are famous people! Hero movie protagonists! Isn’t it very popular in Korea too?”
“No, I saw it. I saw it… ”
The actors definitely gave off a strange atmosphere, as if they were surrounded by some kind of aura. ‘If you become a top Hollywood star, you can give that feeling even without superpowers.’ It was to the point where I thought,
But what caught my attention was not them, but an old man coming in from behind. The same old man I saved from a riot a few days ago.
“Why is Grandpa coming out of there…? ?”
