One of the coolest offsite activations at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, particularly if you’re a Star Trek fan, celebrates Star Trek’s 60th anniversary. The mobile game Star Trek Fleet Command has assembled original uniforms and props from every live action television series of the science fiction franchise.
On this final day of SDCC 2026, I got in line early and enjoyed a visit!
Fans would love the displays, photo ops, a Holodeck virtual reality experience, and a claw machine with Star Trek prizes. I skipped the latter attractions and focused my camera on the many uniforms and props. If you missed experiencing this offsite, you might enjoy my photographs!

It was widely understood that Johnny Depp would step again out of the Ebenezer activation at Comic-Con 2026. In costume as Scrooge, he’d briefly address the large gathered crowd. He had done so earlier in the afternoon.
We waited. A clock tolled the hour. It snowed. The snow fringed office of Scrooge and Marley appeared haunted at times. Shutters suddenly flapped open and shut. A spooky raven perched nearby moved. The hands of the clock suddenly turned wildly. Curtains moved as if Scrooge was peeking out at the surplus population at his doorstep.
A loud ghostly voice came suddenly from somewhere, with a warning to Scrooge.
Nothing then happened.
We expected the front door to open at any time. It didn’t.
Actors in Victorian garb kept the crowd entertained and expectant. They sang Christmas carols. Never getting out of character, they interacted with the audience.
We waited for the appearance of Ebenezer Scrooge.
The curtains moved.
The burly bodyguards joined forces shoulder to shoulder near the door and had us move forward for the encounter. We were ready after such a long, long wait!
A couple minutes later, we were informed Scrooge wouldn’t come out.
Fans who’d waited well over an hour were very disappointed.

Walking around outside during Comic-Con 2026? Is it lunchtime? Why not head over to the Interactive Zone at Petco Park where you’ll find several themed food trucks and plenty of tables.
You’ll also find a few activations. The big one is miniature golf, an activity under a shady roof. Its purpose is to promote Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes. Leave a comment if you played.
Advice! Don’t wait forever in line before the Petco Interactive Zone opens each morning. Not long after the gate opens, the line goes away.

A cool photoshoot was held today of One Piece character cosplay. The participants gathered in front of the Marriott Marquis in San Diego, on this first day of Comic-Con 2026.
It was funny how a few cosplayers from different fandoms were present as everyone gathered. Then the dedicated One Piece characters were wrangled into place and posed as one in their big group photo.

Took a leisurely walk through the Gaslamp and around the San Diego Convention Center this morning. It’s Wednesday. This evening Comic-Con 2026 will kick off with Preview Night.
The main thing I noticed is that many of the offsites are being completed. Workers are scrambling to get everything done!
Here are my photos…
UPDATE!
I was wondering about that huge steel structure being built in the Petco Interactive Zone. When I returned later this morning, I learned it’s miniature golf promoting Magic: The Gathering!

Yes, Doomsday is fated for San Diego. A portent of Doomsday is arising in the Gaslamp Quarter!
The historical Gaslamp Quarter sign is undergoing a sinister transformation. Doctor Doom seems to have recruited workers to prepare for his arrival. Some say the mighty throne of God Emperor Doom will be placed here in the center of Fifth Avenue.
Or perhaps this is a dimensional portal through which he’ll arrive to conquer Earth during Comic-Con 2026!
Avengers Assemble!
UPDATE!
The next morning I saw this…
