The Sherman Oaks Street Fair and SOPOPCON takes place Sunday, October 20th

Imagine having a job where playing with superhero hands is all in a day's work. “I feel powerful with this thing on!” Julio Galvez and Reza Asgari are doing hand to hand combat with two huge electronic hands. And they have surrounded themselves with all the things they love that their new store We Can Be Heroes Comics, which just opened this week in Chatsworth. “When the opportunity came for us to go into business together I jumped on it, because I pretty much thought to myself, what do I want to do with my life? And I realized it's to be 12 forever!” says Reza.

Julio was the first person Sherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce president and CEO David Phelps thought of to help coordinate the idea of highlighting pop culture and comics at this year's Sherman Oak Street Fair with the premiere of SOPOPCON. “This is a passion project for me and David, you know, to be able to put this together it's different than most cons. It's a more of a festival atmosphere. I'm telling you this is going to be super, super fun!”

SOPOPCON will be the first street based pop culture convention in California. Fans of comics, fantasy and science fiction will join over 200 vendors, a carnival, gourmet food and a live stage and artists selling their wares. And the new pop culture zone will include comic shop collectibles, pop culture, fashion and cosplay. David says “I knew we could build on it and add a component that builds in the influence of the entertainment industry and pop culture, and what Sherman Oaks is known for historically into an event that’s already established and successful in the community.”

You’ll even have the chance to meet established comic artists like Scott Koblish – whose work includes Marvel Comics and popular titles like Deadpool, GI Joe, Elektra and Excalibur. “I've always done drawing so there's really nothing else that I feel like I'd be suited for doing at this point!”
You can meet Scott and other artists at the SOPOPCON autograph booth.

Julio says “The valley is the perfect place for it's just a perfect place for it because I mean the major studios are here - Warner Brothers, Disney, and Universal Studios. It's media here in the valley, and we need to celebrate it here.”
