There’s nothing unusual about Superman, Tron’s Ares, Lewis Carroll’s Alice and a gnome sitting among the audience of a San Diego Comic-Con panel during the annual four-day event. David Esquivel/UCLA San Diego Central Library in the city’s East Village neighborhood hosts the free Comic-Con Conference for Educators and Librarians. “My story begins here at Comic-Con,” Wong told Sunday’s attendees. “Media, and I’ll include pop culture in that, lets us know who does and doesn’t belong in college,” she said. Outside the library and throughout San Diego, thousands of Comic-Con attendees spent the weekend celebrating beloved characters and fictional worlds.
