Follow along as Marvel Comics' new boss Kevin Feige joins EiC CB Cebulski share some "surprises" in SDCC 2024 panel!
San Diego Comic-Con is a place where fans can see conversations they can’t find anywhere else — and this year’s Marvel Fanfare panel is a prime example of this, bringing together Marvel Comics editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige on stage for the first time… maybe anywhere…?

Cox Launches Cox Salutes Offer for Military and Veterans in San Diego
This is a Cox Communications sponsored post. Cox Communications launches Cox Salutes to keep active duty and veteran military families connected in San Diego.

San Diego Stormwater Funding Measure Pulled from November Ballot Amid Legislative Changes
San Diegans expecting to vote on a critical measure to fund the city's failing stormwater infrastructure in November will have to wait, as the measure has been pulled from the ballot. City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera decided on a statewide initiative that could have lowered the voter threshold for passing such funding, which was amended late last month. The original hope was that Proposition 5 would allow for a 55 percent approval rate. Still, it was altered to exclude local tax increases, keeping the threshold at a steep two-thirds majority, according to NBC San Diego.

The All-Star Game is now in the rearview mirror and the push for a spot in the postseason is on the line over the next couple of months.

When San Diego Fought Over Banning Gay Teachers
Nearly a half-century ago this summer, local voters seemed eager to approve a California ballot initiative that would ban gay teachers from classrooms unless they hid in the closet.
