San Diego Comic-Con Debuts in Spain, 120,000 Fans Expected To Attend | Vantage with Palki Sharma

For the first time in its history, San Diego Comic-Con has stepped outside the United States—debuting in Málaga, Spain. The four-day mega event is set to host 120,000 fans from 20 countries across 82,000 square metres of exhibition space, featuring comics, films, video games, cosplay and pop culture. From Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jared Leto to stars of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Stranger Things and The Walking Dead, the lineup is dazzling. DC and Marvel heavyweights, Spanish creators and global legends are headlining panels and meet-ups. Hotels are nearly full, transport is stretched, and Málaga is buzzing with Europe’s biggest pop culture gathering yet.

In Peru, Gen Z protesters flaunt the “Straw Hat” pirate flag from the anime One Piece as a symbol of protest against corruption and oppression.

On this day in 1960, the first televised U.S. presidential debate was held between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Kennedy was widely regarded as the winner, impressing viewers with his confident and telegenic presence. Nixon, who appeared tense and had refused to wear makeup, came across as less composed. Three weeks later, Kennedy won the presidency, defeating Nixon in a closely contested election.
