The small, intimate San Diego Comic Fest returns this weekend, offering fans a grassroots comic experience with no lines and plenty of art.
"It's meant to be an intimate comic experience the way San Diego Comic-Con was in the beginning," said Alonso Nunez, board president for Comic Fest."I'm not one of these people that says that San Diego Comic-Con is no longer about comics. I think the comics are there. But for a pure grassroots comic experience, there's nothing quite like San Diego Comic Fest. It was started byin 2012, one of the original founders of Comic-Con.
"Moving up there gives us a kind of different look in terms of North County and then also a greater proximity to Anaheim," Nunez said."We're a lot closer up to Orange County, and I think it's going to be a lot more accessible and easy for people to get to it."up north in Anaheim being situated right across from Disneyland, I think we might start getting some people with some extended vacations in terms of coming out for Legoland and Comic Fest at the same time.
