Phoenix Comic Fest returns with new name, added security measures

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - The Comicon is back in Phoenix, but with a new name.

What was once known as the Phoenix Comicon is now known as Phoenix Comic Fest, and it kicks off at the Phoenix Convention Center on Thursday.

The event's name may have changed, but there is one thing that will remain the same: added security measures.
