The revered San Diego Comic-Con 2022 is ready to make a grand return this year, after operating low-key for two whole years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. San Diego Comic-Con 2022 will start on July 20, which will be the preview day, and will continue till July 25, 2022.

This year's convention will see some of the most anticipated events from giants like Marvel, DC, HBO, and Disney, something that has become a staple for these big brands.

Originally founded in 1970, San Diego Comic-Con is a four-day event that takes place at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. It began as a place to showcase comic books and sci-fi/fantasy-related movies, TV shows, and other popular art forms, but with the advent of modern-age streaming and an explosion of new material, it has evolved into something much more.
