So, is this the beginning of the end for SDCC? With it becoming more expensive and more welcoming to video game companies and movies, will the comics part of the con be left out in the cold? You'd think the con heads would take an offense to such a great comic book organization basically leaving them for another. I’ll act as the harbinger of doom….
