Comic-Con in San Diego Delivers a Triumph Once More!
San Diego Comic-Con 2026 was a thrilling event for fans of pop culture, as it brought together a plethora of exciting sneak peeks, panels, and entertainment-focused events. The convention, held from July 22 to July 26 in San Diego, California, was a lively celebration of all things comic, film, and illustration.
One dedicated fan, who has been playing the action roguelike game, The Cult of the Lamb, religiously, embarked on an unforgettable journey at the convention. The highlight of their experience was undoubtedly the acquisition of a sixteen-inch plush of the possessed lamb from the game, purchased from Toy Temple during the 2025 event.
Preparation for the 2026 event was meticulous. The fan laid out what they wanted to wear each day and filled a go-bag with sufficient snacks, water, portable chargers, and more. They also pre-purchased train tickets for the days they wanted to attend and rode the train to San Diego.
The fan's schedule was carefully planned using the official Comic-Con International app to avoid any conflicts. They attended panels such as "From Page to Pixel: Legendary Comics for a New Generation on WEBTOON," where they learned about iconic properties coming soon to WEBTOON, and "The Hellaverse on Prime Video: Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss Cast," where they discovered that an uncensored version of Helluva Boss would be available to watch via Prime Video starting September 10, 2026, and Hazbin Hotel would return for its second season on October 29, 2025.
The fan also attended the Her Universe Fashion Show, a free event celebrating fashion and fandom. They had the privilege of interviewing comic artist and writer Purpah, best known for their webcomic Suitor Armor, and learned about the third volume due in March 2026. The interview with Purpah, who is arguably one of the fan's favorite creators, will be published shortly.
In addition to panels, the fan explored the convention halls, people-watched, attended a fashion show, crashed bumper cars, and interviewed three authors. They also attended the "Anime's Next Era: What's Fueling the Boom?" panel to discuss how webcomics are gradually being adapted for anime.
The fan even had the opportunity to meet with illustrator and author Wendy Martin, best known for their webcomic Castle Swimmer. The meeting was a special moment for the fan, as they learned about the third volume due in March 2026.
Notable developments from the previous year set the stage for the 2026 event, with new content previews like the "Peacemaker" Season 2 trailer, "The Boys" Season 5 sneak peek, and announcements regarding the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opening in 2026. These threads likely carried momentum into the 2026 event.
Tickets for SDCC 2026 will go on sale on October 4, 2025, for those who have attended Comic-Con 2025. They will be available for purchase to everyone on November 15, 2025.
