The countdown is on for Comic-Con Malaga is building fevered anticipation, as it set to take place from September 25 to 28 at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos in Malaga, and expecting to draw 120,000 attendees.

The same day, at 6pm, acclaimed Spanish filmmaker J.A. Bayona, known for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Society of the Snow, will host an open talk with attendees. Other guests of note include comic book legends Jeph Loeb, the award-winning writer behind Superman for All Seasons and Batman: The Long Halloween, and Jim Lee, current president of DC Comics and celebrated for his work on X-Men. Both will will be doing meet-and-greets with fans on the Sunday.
