San Diego Comic-Con International a.k.a. Comic-Con or SDCC is a multigenre entertainment and comic convention held annually in San Diego, USA.
History
Comic-Con is a four-day event (Thursday-Sunday) held in July or August at the San Diego Convention Center in southern California. It was founded in 1970 and is considered to be the largest convention of its kind in the world.
Originally showcasing primarily comic books and science fiction/fantasy the convention now includes a larger range of pop culture and entertainment elements across virtually all genres, including collectible card games. Until the introduction of HASCON in 2017, a Magic panel always featured big reveals about the Commander series, Duel Decks and the fall set of that year.
