ComiCon Set To Launch (GALLERY)

Thousands of people are expected at Windsor ComiCon this weekend.

President Steve Menzie says there's still lots to get done at Caesars Windsor today before doors officially open. "We're doing the move in of all the exhibitors, we're arranging all the travel for all of the celebrity guests coming in, we're prepping all of the food and the merchandise these folks want and just trying to eat and drink and be ready to go tomorrow morning."

Stars of movies and TV shows like the Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad will be on hand this weekend, alongside comic book writers and artists.

Comic celebrity and director Kevin Smith is also host an evening event tomorrow, which Menzie says it nearly sold out.
