COLUMBIA, S.C. - Anime fans are converging on the capital city this weekend for Soda City Comic Con. The two-day event will feature photo ops with celebrities, vendors, and multiple contests. Among the featured guests is Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, Cal Dodd, and a few of his fellow X-Men 97 partners.

In addition to the vendors and meet and greets, an arcade and pinball tournament is planned. Sunday will also feature a children's cosplay contest.

Two-day tickets are available for $40. There are also separate prices for one day and children's admission. A detailed list of prices for autographs and pictures can be found here.

Organizers say costumes are encouraged but ask people to exercise "common sense" regarding weapons.
