Los Angeles Comic Con is about to get a giant-sized dose of tokusatsu heroics. Tsuburaya Productions has announced that Ultraman will take center stage at this year’s convention, running September 26-28 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Fans can expect exclusive screenings, a major panel, merch drops, and even a tournament for the Ultraman card game.

Big Screen Moments

Two screenings headline the weekend’s lineup:
