SDCC Photo Hunt 2026: We're Back Baby! 📸🚀

Happy San Diego Comic Con week! After a 10-year hiatus, the SDCC Photo Hunt is BACK BABY! 📸🎉

From 2013–2016, hundreds of you played along as we explored San Diego Comic-Con one photo at a time. Looking back at those photos now feels like opening a time capsule, so it only felt right to bring it back for SDCC 2026 after ten years!

 

Here's how to play:
📸 Snap as many photos from the list as you can throughout Comic-Con.
📲 Share them on Instagram using #SDCCPhotoHunt26.
🏷️ Tag @meganelvrum so I can see your adventures!

Whether you're attending for the first time, a returning veteran, or — like me — coming back after a decade away, I would love to see Comic Con through your eyes!

✨ Bonus challenge: Can you find Musical Awakening somewhere at the convention? (Hint... you just might. 😉📖)

Who's heading to Comic Con this year? Let me know in the comments! I'll see you nerds there on Friday 7/24! I'll be walking the floor all day!👾

PS. check out pasts years: 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016

I'm Going Back to San Diego Comic Con After 11 Years & This Time I'm Bringing My Debut Novel 📖🎶💖

There are certain places that stay with you.

San Diego Comic Con is one of those places for me.

I attended SDCC for the first time in 2009, back when I was deep in my era as a blogger and photographer. I made friendships that will last a lifetime. The kind of experience that embeds itself in your memory and doesn't let go.

And then life happened, the way it does, and eleven years passed since my last con.

This July, I'm going back.

But this time? I'm not just going as a fan or a photographer or a blogger. I'm going as a debut author — and I'm bringing my book with me!

The San Diego Trolley, Dan Croll, & A Scene That Became Fiction 🚃

On May 3, 2014, I tagged along with the team from A Trolley Show for an intimate acoustic performance with Dan Croll and his band on board the San Diego Trolley. Squeezed into a trolley car, sun pouring through the windows, Dan and the band played "Maway" — and it's a morning I've never forgotten.

I didn't know it at the time, but that morning — the sunlight, the trolley packed with fans, an artist playing songs just for the people in that car — became one of my favorite scenes in Musical Awakening.

This is my husband's first San Diego Comic Con and I want to make it perfect because we have only one day.

But here’s the truth:

you don’t need four days to have an incredible experience.

If you only have one day, you just need to be intentional.

And this is how we are going to do it and you can too!

See you at SDCC 2026 🌴
