Comic-Con 2023 mayhem goes into high gear!

With four days to go until Comic-Con 2023 Preview Night, preparation for a massive crowd of pop culture fans descending on downtown San Diego is now in high gear!

Many Comic-Con offsites are in the early stages of construction. More buildings wraps are appearing in the Gaslamp Quarter and by the San Diego Convention Center.

Enjoy these photos from my long, very fun walk late this Friday afternoon!

Twisted Metal banners line Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade.

A meaty wrap on one side of the Hilton Gaslamp.

The big Fox Animation Domination wrap on the Omni appears over half finished.

The stylish Interview With The Vampire graphics on the Hilton Gaslamp are among my favorites.

The following structure that has been erected in Gaslamp Square will promote NBC’s classic show Quantum Leap…

More fun FOX animation graphics on the Omni…

FX has begun building their Comic-Con offsite in their usual spot–the grass in front of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel.

Looks like FX will have a big stage or video screen.

I suspect the big wrap on the Hilton will promote a show on FX.

Adult Swim has returned to their usual spot behind the San Diego Convention Center after their absence last year. They were just beginning to set up their offsite on the green.

A cool new offsite by Hulu, promoting Ani-mayhem, is setting up in the parking lot behind the convention center.

I climbed the stairs behind the convention center…

Look at all the trucks behind the San Diego Convention Center. They’re here for the big Morgan Wallen concerts at nearby Petco Park.

Getting things ready under the sails of the convention center.

I got some great views from the convention center…

Back on Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp, I checked out more Amazon Prime Video wraps…

Oops! Well, maybe that’s a new superpower.

And finally a look toward the Marriott Marquis hotel, as a big ESRI building wrap comes down and one promoting Star Trek goes up!

I’m covering Comic-Con again this year. To see all my current and past blog posts concerning Comic-Con, click here and scroll down!
