Greetings fellow Comic-Con<\/a> enthusiasts! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year’s event was quite the experience. Having attended San Diego Comic-Con since 2012, I can attest that it has always been the most significant, wildest, and most exciting show. Even during the pandemic, when everything went virtual, Comic-con remained a beacon of hope for us who love this event. But thankfully, in 2022, the convention came back in full force and was better than ever before.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, I learned that major studios like Marvel<\/a>, Disney<\/a>, and HBO (now called Max)<\/a> wouldn\u2019t attend the 2023 convention. Initially, I thought it wouldn’t be an issue, but then the writer’s and actor’s strikes happened, and many people thought it spelled doom for Comic-Con. Nevertheless, I remained hopeful because I knew that the original incarnation of Comic-Con was all about comics and always will be. Even if some parts of the convention are affected by strikes or other issues, we will always have a love for comics that brings us together.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the recent SAG\/AFTRA <\/a> strike, some actors could still attend because they had other projects that fell outside the strike’s parameters. One such actor was recent Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a>. She was promoting her upcoming comic book called Mother Nature<\/a>. The line to get in the room was long, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get in. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There were about ten seats left in the way back. I was one of the lucky ones to get those precious final seats. We were all so relieved to get in as we waited over an hour. It was worth it. The panel and Jamie Lee were great. I had a great time. It was fantastic to see Jamie Lee venturing into the comic world and embracing that genre. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
