Capital City Comic Con is returning to Victoria after taking a pandemic hiatus, and several guest stars are scheduled to appear.

The pop culture convention will run from Sept. 23 to Sept. 25, and include two "artist alleys," creator guests, information panels, community cosplay, a range of exhibits, and of course several celebrity guests.

Garrett Wang, who's best known for his role as Harry Kim on "Star Trek Voyager," will be attending the convention, as well as WWE Hall of Famer 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan.

Other special guests include Felissa Rose, Veronica Taylor, Dave Sheridan, Tim Russ and Lochlyn Munro, who all have television, film, animation or music credits to their name.

Tickets for the convention can be purchased online at the Capital City Comic Con website.

Prices run from around $10 for a one-day child pass to roughly $30 for a one-day adult ticket, and $103.95 for a three-day VIP pass. Family passes are also available in single day or three-day packages.
