Comic-Con International: San Diego ran July 17-21 at the San Diego Convention Center, with its usual extravagant combination of artists, presentations, mass fandom, and promotional events. This year's event was the 50th San Diego Comic-Con, and there was also a string of new programming to mark the occasion, which served as a reminder of how much comics and popular culture have changed since the first show in 1970.
