..."Brandenburg said he knew the event was a rousing success when Stan Lee, returning guest and master of the Marvel universe, gave praise at the end of his appearance Saturday saying, "I love Salt Lake City. They have the best comic con in the world."...
SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake Comic Con broke its own record for the third time in a row as more than 120,000 people flocked downtown for a three-day nerdy getaway.
Attendance peaked Saturday with as many as 90,000 fans bustling through the Salt Palace Convention Center, Comic Con co-founder Bryan Brandenburg said as the convention neared closing time.
Attendance numbers have yet to be finalized, but Brandenburg said initial estimates confirm Utah's homegrown comic and pop culture convention breezed past its goal for 120,000 attendees during the three days, despite logistical snarls that left fans waiting in line for hours to get in Thursday and organizers grovelling.
More than 72,000 guests turned out for Salt Lake Comic Con's inaugural event last fall, and 100,000 attended its FanX convention in April...
