Comic-Con International returned to San Diego from July 19 – 22, 2018 with preview night on July 18.  As our very own writers Michelle Alexandria and Sheldon Wiebe continued to update us with what was going on during Comic-Con, I made the trek from Los Angeles to San Diego to be in the thick of the action. Welcome to my annual recap of my favorite conference!
