IDW Unveils San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives & Debuts

IDW is local to San Diego – which means that Comic-Con is a home-grown convention for them, and as such, fans can always expect them to go all out. This year, IDW and Top Shelf are rolling out their hottest exclusives and debuts, with variants from everyone from Kevin Eastman, Derek Charm, Livio Ramondelli, and more – and properties that include Wynonna Earp, My Little Pony, Micronauts, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Lock & Key, and so much more.

A few exclusives are available for pre-order from IDW’s webstore beginning today. Fans that preorder will be able to pick up their books throughout the show from the IDW booth #2743 as well as from the San Diego Comic Art Gallery located at the Liberty Station Arts District in the Point Loma area of San Diego.
