San Diego Comic-Con 2026 continues to be a jam-packed event and the marquee annual showcase in the world of comics and pop culture. Marvel was back in the house for Hall H, bringing back some, but not all, of the glitz and glamour of the peak film or streaming years, but spirits were high around the core business of comics and fans appear to have adjusted to the changing times.
The number of booths selling high-end collectibles seems to have grown again this year, with the peak price for a collectible item we saw at an eye-popping $29,999.
For columnist Rob Salkowitz’s take on how convention organizers are handling the ongoing pressures of running this show in the third-largest city in California, see “Flying High, Running Hot.”
Cosplay appears to be continuing its multi-year decline, so we’ve included some cosplay pictures from later in the week with the Preview Night articles to give some idea of the popular costumes and properties with each photo set.
