"Should the Bay Area be concerned that WonderCon is foresaking Frisco for Anaheim?"

It's the rumor that makes the rounds every summer. That Comic-Con is
soon going to abandon San Diego for some other convention-friendly city
like Las Vegas or Anaheim.

The only problem with this rumor is (at least for the timing being)
is that it can't possibly be true. Given that — back in September of
2010 — Comic-Con International (i.e. the parent company of this pop
culture phenomenon) signed a deal with the San Diego Convention Center
which then ties this event to that waterfront venue through 2015.

Mind you, this hasn't stopped the comic book community from spinning
out entirely new conspiracy theories about this organization. Take —
for example — Comic-Con International's recent decision to move
WonderCon from its usual home in San Francisco's Moscone Center down to
the Anaheim Convention Center. There are those that will tell you that
this was kind of a consolation prize for the Anaheim city council. That
— because they ultimately weren't able to persuade SDCC management to
relocate their biggest con down to Orange County — Anaheim opted to go
after Comic-Con's little brother (i.e. WonderCon) instead.
