WonderPost: Panels, Superman Reunion, Battlestar Galactica, Exclusives

The biggest news in the last week relating to WonderCon Anaheim is that panel announcements started to go out. That means that we can slowly start piecing together the schedule, like a giant jigsaw puzzle, before Comic-Con International releases the complete, finalized schedule two weeks before the event. Of course, that’s not the only WonderCon news this week. There’s also lots of new merchandise that will be available at the convention, like plush creations and books, and more.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

Onelani, the creator of adorable plush creations, has listed WonderCon on her list of scheduled conventions for this year.
