Comic-Con 2023 News

Next year's Comic-Con International in San Diego is July 20-23. That means that Preview Night — which is Wednesday, July 19 — is a mere 280 days from today. Each year when we get close to the convention dates, I get e-mails and phone calls from people who suddenly started thinking about attending and are surprised to find out that they're a couple hundred days late in thinking about that. There's one guy — you know who you are, fella — who makes the same mistake year after year after year.

If you want to attend, you need to plan ahead. Let me say that again in all caps and boldface: PLAN AHEAD! And if you are a returning attendee, meaning that you paid for and attended Comic-Con 2022 and/or Comic-Con Special Edition 2021, you can dive into the pool to try and purchase and memberships for 2023 for up to three people (yourself probably being one of them) this coming Saturday morning, October 15. Read how to do it on this page and don't wait until Saturday to read it.

Memberships of other sorts will be available at later dates and I'll try to alert you about that but don't count on me. Follow the convention on Facebook and/or Twitter for announcements. In fact, if I were you, I'd make frequent checks of the convention website. You can have a wonderful time at Comic-Con but it takes a little work to get yourself there.
