Your Marvel Guide to Phoenix Comic Con. Marvel fans will find plenty to do and see at Phoenix Comic Con, May 25-28 2017 at the Phoenix Convention Center. This will be our fourth year driving over from San Diego. Why make the long drive into the desert heat? Because PHXCC is one of the best comic conventions in the southwest. Last year I made an appearance as Hydra Captain America, just two weeks after Nick Spencer ruined Steve Rogers for countless fans. How did that go? It went great, check out my report!
