Formerly run by folks from northern California, Wondercon is now owned and operated by Comic-con International, the folks who handle SDCC. This convention takes place towards the beginning the year to kick off the convention season and is probably the largest comic convention in Northern California. Using their clout, Comic-con International has brought in recognizable media names like Josh Whedon, Christian Bale and Tobey Maguire. Media outlets like G4 have even made it out. Former attendance used to be around 3000 prior to 2002 with recent attendance jumping over 20,000 during the weekend and still growing every year. For a sample of what goes on, please take a look at the following Flickr set. 2008-02-22 to 2008-02-24 - Wondercon 2008 The Moscone Center and Comic-con websites have posted dates and the location for Moscone-Wondercon 2009 & Comic-con International - WonderconDates: Friday, February 27, 2009 to Sunday, March 1, 2009 Location: Moscone Center South 747 Howard Street San Francisco, CA 94103
