More than 65,000 people are expected to crowd downtown Atlanta for Dragon Con 2023.

The annual five-day event is one of the largest multi-media gatherings focused on pop culture, gaming, comics, film, literature, science fiction and fantasy.

For Friday’s edition of “Closer Look,” show host Rose Scott talks with several guests about the convention, the comradery and what drew them to their artforms.
