After virtual and reduced events due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Comic-Con is back almost in full force this year in San Diego.

Over 100,000 people are expected to attend the celebration of all things pop culture. Masks will still be mandatory.

Organizers called the decision to cancel Comic-Con “heartbreaking” when they did so in April 2020, a year after the event commemorated its 50th anniversary.
