In case you somehow hadn’t noticed, things have started getting a little busier around here lately. Already this week, we had exclusive revels galore, news that Wynonna Earp and its cast will be heading to the convention center, and even (gasp!) evidence that onPeak might come into work one day next week as the hotel waitlist will supposedly begin on June 1. But that’s not all the news!
We’ve also got word that Bruce Campbell is heading to the convention, exclusive news, and much more.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
