Transformer’s Gregg Berger (Grimlock) and David Sobolov (Shockwave) will too. Fans will have a chance to finally meet Alan Oppenheimer, the voice of Skeletor, from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on Saturday and Sunday.

David Michael Beck, renowned for his work on Star Wars comic properties, will be there. Fans can also meet Val Mayerik, best known as the co-creator of Howard the Duck.

With all the cons coming up this summer, it’s good to be a nerd in San Antonio
