PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — Faster than a speeding bullet, Brooklyn Public Library's Comic Con is back.

"Children, Teens, and Adults are welcome to celebrate the universality of comics and pop-nerd culture," the library wrote on an event page.

Its origin story rests in the library's Youth Wing, which organizes the 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. event. They lassoed a rogues gallery of Brooklyn comic book writers and artists, such as Alitha Martinez, who has penciled Iron Man and other popular Marvel and DC titles.
Martinez and nine other professionals will spin a web of roundtable discussions and drawing classes.
