Get your passports ready: The world's largest country is finally getting a Comic-Con worthy of its size. 

Pop culture event organizer ReedPOP is expanding its outlet of high profile comic conventions with the inaurgural Shanghi Comic-Con, located in Shang-Hi, China. Scheduled to take place this May 16-17 at the Shanghi Convention and Exhibition Center of International Sourcing, the convention will be Shanghai's first-ever.

"China is a massive frontier for ReedPOP, a huge market and boundless community of fans that we are eager and enthusiastic to build events for," Lance Fensterman, Global Senior Vice President of ReedPOP, said in an official statement. "This is a huge opportunity for the millions of fans in the country who haven't experienced a ReedPOP event and we can't wait to see how they respond. Geekdom is a universal language and we're sure that the Chinese people will celebrate fan culture in their own unique and amazing ways."

A fixture in pop culture conventions both domestic and foreign, ReedPOP's annual events include New York Comic-Con, C2E2, Star Wars Celebration, and more. Past global ReedPOP conventions have occurred in India, Paris, Germany, and most recently, Australia.
