After virtual and scaled-back events due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Comic-Con is back at nearly full force this year in San Diego.
Well over 100,000 people are expected to attend this vibrant celebration of all things pop culture. Masks will still be required, ensuring safety for all attendees.
Organizers described the decision to cancel Comic-Con in April 2020 as “heartbreaking.” This cancellation came one year after the event celebrated its 50th anniversary.
