SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) — Another successful Comic-Con is in the books. The four-day pop culture convention came to an end Sunday, but even in its final hours was packed with things to see and do.
In addition to adult-oriented content, the fourth and final day of Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center featured a slate of family friendly events.
Sessions began at 10 a.m. and later ones were slated to run until around midnight. Topics varied wildly across movie, television, book, comic, video game toy and other popular art industries.
Apart from the Convention Center, session venues included the Central Library, Hilton Bayfront Hotel, the Horton Grand Theatre and the Marriott Marquis. More than 130,000 people are estimated to have attended Comic-Con, which typically generates more than $143 million in economic activity for the region.
