Preparing for hot week at Comic-Con

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Comic-Con is taking over downtown San Diego and this year may finally feel like things are back in full force.

"One of the things we do see this year is Hollywood is back and in pretty big force too," said David Glanzer, spokesperson for Comic-Con.

Coming off of pandemic years, then a writer and actor strike, San Diego Comic-Con is back to the event people know and love.

"Thursday we have a big presentation on the new Deadpool Wolverine movie. Over the course of the weekend there’s Star Trek, all the stuff I think people would expect at Comic-Con that we might not have had the last couple of years," Glanzer said.

With the crowds, comes the need for safety. It's something San Diego police and law enforcement partners help with each year.

"Our biggest concern is always the heat as well as safety," Officer Darius Jamsetjee said.

It’s a hot week ahead so keep that in mind, especially for those dressing the part at the event.

Justin Wu has been committed to elaborate costumes at Comic-Con for seven years now and knows how to prepare.
