It’s officially July, which means it’s San Diego Comic-Con month! We are just weeks away from the best week of the year, but the good news is you don’t have to wait to get your Comic-Con fix in. The Comic-Con Museum in San Diego is now open and their newest attraction–“Spider-Man:Beyond Amazing–The Exhibition” opens today!
Cherry The Geek TV sat down with the “Spider-Man:Beyond Amazing” co-curators– Patrick A. Reed and Ben Saunders, to discuss the massive 7,500 square foot exhibit, and what fans can expect to see and experience when they walk in the Comic-Con Museum doors. Audiences can immerse themselves in the expansive exhibit, learning about the many creators who have contributed to the Spider-Man mythos, pose with life-size character sculptures, encounter some of Spidey’s fiercest foes through cutting-edge digital elements, and celebrate the cultural impact of Peter Parker and his cast of supporting characters. Attendees can also visit the Marvel gift shop, which will feature an array of exclusive exhibition merchandise, including t-shirts, mugs and magnets.
