Take three steps in any direction at the BJCC Exhibition Halls on Saturday, and you were likely to bump into a Mandalorian, a Ghostbuster, a Stormtrooper, a Na’vi hunter, a friendly furry, a winged fairy or even Batman himself.

Alabama Comic Con was in full force in downtown Birmingham, and when AL.com paid a visit to the con on Saturday afternoon, the exhibition halls were filled with costumed characters from science fiction, fantasy, comics, anime and more.

Celebrity guests were on hand, ranging from Giancarlo Esposito of “Breaking Bad” and “The Mandalorian” to Doug Jones of “Hellboy” and “The Shape of Water.” Westling legends such as Mick Foley, Sting and Kevin Nash made appearances at the event, as well, chatting with fans and signing autographs.

Alabama Comic Con might not be as large as San Diego Comic Con international or as wildly fanciful as Dragon Con in Atlanta, but there was plenty to see and do on Saturday. The convention, produced by Humble Enterprises, includes vendors, gaming, panel discussions and cosplay, along with general socializing.
