This is what happens when you keep rebooting Spider-Man.
Got a passion for anything and everything geeky? The annual Phoenix Comicon Fan Fest was the place to fete it. The weekend-long extravaganza, which took place on Saturday, October 22, and Sunday October 23, at the Phoenix Convention Center, featured two days of panels and events dedicated to everything from Star Wars and Star Trek to comics, anime, fantasy, and even pro wrestling, as well as guest appearances by Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things, Elizabeth Henstridge from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the WWE's John Cena and Daniel Bryan.
