San Diego Comic Con attendance strong despite Industry Shutdown

The San Diego Comic Con 2023 brought fans together again to celebrate their love for everything pop culture. With fears of covid now behind us, the only masks in site were those of characters like Spiderman, Harley Quinn and Chewbacca. A massive Industry strike may have kept many professional entertainers from attending but people still showed up in numbers. Artist, writers exhibitors and vendors all celebrated a busier than usual convention center floor because the strike meant limited panels.
