After Memorial Day, the floodgates of San Diego Comic-Con open wide, and we all just struggle not to drown in it (which is half the fun! Right?!). But that doesn’t mean we haven’t had a lot of news this week, including our first look at one of NECA’s San Diego Comic-Con exclusives, items available from 200AD and BeeFy & Co, and lots of news on artists and the exhibit floor.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Paper doll artist and puffy pin maker Jessica Yamboa posted on Instagram her latest work for the SDCC art show. It is a Riverdale‘s Veronica Lodge themed mermaid paper doll.
- We have more information on upcoming exclusives from concept designer Justin Harder. We get our first glimpse in a tweeted video of a Deadpool pin, followed by a tweet with a detailed picture letting us know he and exclusives can be found at Small Press table O-08, and lastly a tweet letting us know he will be attending this year’s Comic-Con preview night selling a Deadpool package of a pin, patch, poster and shirt.
