[Burbank, CA] DC today announced its fan activations for Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC), centered around its expanded DC Booth (#4544) on the convention floor from Wednesday, July 22 through Sunday, July 26.

In 2026, DC continues its annual decade‑by‑decade celebration of its publishing legacy by spotlighting the 1950s. Following last year's celebration of DC's earliest publishing era, the 2026 DC Booth turns its attention to an era of reinvention, experimentation, and imagination that helped shape the future of DC Comics. As DC marches toward its 100th anniversary, this year’s booth honors a transformative decade that introduced bold new heroes, groundbreaking ideas, and creative storytelling that continues to inspire generations of fans.

The 1950s marked a creative turning point for DC. Showcase #4 introduced Barry Allen and helped usher in the Silver Age of comics. Action Comics #252 debuted Supergirl, Action Comics #241 revealed Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, and Showcase #22 reimagined Green Lantern with Hal Jordan. Beyond superheroes, the 1950s saw DC expand into science fiction, mystery, romance, Westerns, humor, and suspense, reflecting a period of extraordinary creative growth and experimentation.

The 2026 DC Booth brings this era to life with art, activations, and experiences inspired by one of the most influential periods in DC history, including a celebration of MAD Magazine, which debuted in 1952 and helped redefine satire for generations. Under the guidance of Harvey Kurtzman and the legendary “Usual Gang of Idiots,” MAD offered readers a sharp, hilarious lens on entertainment, politics, and popular culture, leaving a lasting mark on generations of creators and fans. Fans can visit the booth’s 1950s‑inspired Daily Planet newsstand and pick up a free MAD Magazine #1 facsimile, complete with classic ads pulled from DC’s archives and a Daily Planet blank back cover designed for creator signatures.

CULVER CITY, California—July 9, 2025—Prime Video today announced its 2026 San Diego Comic-Con lineup with beloved returning series including The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Batman: Caped Crusader, with Reacher and Neagley joining forces for their SDCC debut, and iconic IP reimagined with Carrie and Blade Runner 2099 taking the stage.

Domo Cafe

We picked a good weekend to be in So Cal. While we were down there for DCon, we took a chance and got on the wait list for the new Domo Cafe that just opened in Buena Park, CA. It's in the same spot that the Gudetama Cafe was at. The kept the Gudatema Egg that tells you if they are open or closed but removed Gudetama and replaced it with Domo. When walking in thru the doors when it was our turn to go inside is that all the employees will greet you at the same time. They had a good amount of merch available, a photo op with Chef Domo, photo booth and a claw machine that wasn't working yet. All of the Domo Cafe employees were very friendly. We were told that that they would be receiving new Domo merch every week throughout the summer so you'll have to check back each week to see whats new.

The food was really good!!! It was way better than the Gudetama Cafe food. The drinks were okay or maybe it was just the one that I had. I would go back for the food and try a different drink. The photobooth had a line so we didn't have a chance to get too close to it. Maybe next time. Hopefully their claw machine will be working then too.

Check out our pictures via our IG below.

DesignerCon made it's way back home to Pasadena this year during Father's day weekend!!! They sold out of online ticket sales but they did have tickets available in person starting at 1pm. It's been a long time since the very first show so many years ago. The designer toy & collectibles scene has grown exponentially over the years. Dcon grew so big that they had to move it to Anaheim to hold all the interested artists & companies that wanted to exhibit at their show. DesignerCon was built with the support of local indie artists and small companies who took a chance and exhibited at the show as well as the support of collectors who attended every show to purchase art, collectibles, exclusives or to simply hang out with other collectors.

A couple of years ago, DesignerCon moved from Anaheim to Las Vegas which alienated many local So Cal artists and small companies from exhibiting in Vegas due to logistics and if there were enough interest from collectors to want to travel to Vegas. It felt great to be back in Pasadena! Check out our photos below via our IG to view all the photos.

Universal Studios Hollywood FanFest was back for their 2nd year. FanFest lasts only a few week in April and May on select nights. We had the chance to stop during their opening weekend. It was Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters that attracted us to attend this year. They brought back Dungeons and Dragons and the Colorful Yoshi in Super Nintendo World. New additions this year was the brand new One Piece Grand Pirate Show at the Waterworld location, Harry Potter Forbidden Forest, Sailor Moon Screening and a Jurassic Park / World walkthrough that showed off various vehicles, dinosaurs and movie props as well as really great actors to bring to life the characters from the movies.

When Satsuki and her sister Mei move with their father to a new home in the countryside, they find country life is not as simple as it seems. They soon discover that the house and nearby woods are full of strange and delightful creatures, including a gigantic but gentle forest spirit called Totoro, who can only be seen by children. Totoro and his friends introduce the girls to a series of adventures, including a ride aboard the extraordinary Cat Bus, in this all-ages animated masterpiece featuring the voices of Tim Daly, Lea Salonga, and real-life sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning, in early roles.

Brought to you by GKIDS and Fathom Entertainment, Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro returns to theaters for a limited time from July 11 – 15 as part of Studio Ghibli Fest 2026. Tickets on sale now HERE.
