Less Marvel? No problem \u2014 experts say Comic-Con is not facing a post-MCU \u2018Doomsday\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

by\u00a0Arturo Garcia | Times of San Diego<\/p>\n

San Diego Comic-Con is not \u201cdying,\u201d but it\u2019s fair to ask: Where does the pop-culture mega-event go from here?<\/p>\n

As far back as the \u201990s, getting into\u00a0Comic-Con<\/a>\u00a0meant lining up for a few hours along the Marina behind the San Diego Convention Center and waiting to buy a ticket.

There was a time when beating the summer heat in San Diego didn\u2019t require air conditioning.<\/p>\n

Fanning themselves on the front porch, driving with the car top down, boating, opening windows for the evening breeze, heading to the beach or escaping to the mountains \u2014 San Diegans had their own ways of staying cool long before air conditioning became a fixture of summer life.<\/p>\n

Across the county, residents learned to work with the climate, using the\u00a0ocean,<\/a>architecture,<\/a>\u00a0public spaces<\/a>, and nearby mountains as natural escapes from warm weather.<\/p>\n
