Actually, I'm not sure this is news but Comic-Con International has again extended its deal or contract or agreement or whatever you call it to remain in San Diego and convene at the San Diego Convention Center. The reason this may not be news is that I keep telling you they ain't moving. They're now committed there through 2027. And the reason I don't think they'll go elsewhere is that I can't imagine the movers 'n' shakers of San Diego being so all-fired stupid as to let this convention get away from them. They may talk tough and other cities may make it sound like they're going to steal the con away from them but I'm willing to bet serious money — someone else's, not mine of course — that the convention will stay where it is.
This year's, in case you haven't marked your calendar, runs July 24-27 with a Preview Night on the 23rd.
Speaking of such things: If you can't wait for Comic-Con (or can't get badges), it's only 72 days until WonderCon starts at the Anaheim Convention Center. It's March 28, 29 and 30…and no, that is not Easter Weekend. Easter falls on April 20th this year.
Run by the same folks who run Comic-Con, WonderCon is a great event…smaller than Comic-Con but with more than enough to see, hear and purchase. I will be there hosting panels. My partner Sergio Aragonés will not be in attendance but he's doing fine.
Three-day badges for WonderCon have been available for a while. Single-day badges go on sale tomorrow. All the info you need is here. A good time will be had by all.
