"Star Wars" party: Free Hero Complex event kicks off WonderCon Storm Troopers on the move. Tom Stratman / AP WonderCon is coming to Anaheim March 16-18 - and Hero Complex is throwing a galactic pre-party to celebrate. Admission is free but space is limited so RSVP now for our Mega Mixer at Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana on March 15 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Hosted by Geoff Boucher, the event includes free after-hours admission to the science center exhibits, plus complimentary food and beverages. Mingle with other heroes and check out the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit. Fans of comic books, sci-fi film and genre TV will see some familiar faces in the crowd, too. The 26th edition of WonderCon, the younger sibling of Comic-Con International, will feature preview panels of upcoming films (among them "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Prometheus" and "Battleship"), an autograph area, a children's film festival, gaming, a vast merchant floor and a masquerade event. WonderCon is a Bay Area import - it started in Oakland and spent the past six years in San Francisco - is making this detour to Anaheim due to major renovations at the Moscone Center in the Golden Gate city.
