Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya! Tomorrow! Preview Night is only a day away, and we’re singing our hearts out. Sure, it’s a hard knock life here when it comes to reporting all this wonderful SDCC news, but we do it anyway, and we’re happy to do it. This column has great news from Nuclear Blast Records, Terry Dodson, KFC, and a lot more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are going to be all over SDCC. Along with everything else they’re bringing, old and new, they’ll also have SDCC exclusive slap bracelets distributed at their partner booths (BOOM!, Nickelodeon, Bandai, etc.). They’re also bringing a Legacy Wars tournament featuring an appearance by Green Ranger, Jason David Frank.
- Nuclear Blast Records is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year with a huge SDCC presence. When you visit Booth #501, you’ll find exclusives from TEAC turntables, Slayer, El Hijo Del Santo, and more.
- BleedingCool reports Colonel Sanders and Green Lantern team up to save the universe in KFC #3: Across the Universe, sold exclusively at DC Comics’ Booth #1915 at SDCC. Unfortunately, we’ve confirmed that will be the only KFC presence at SDCC this year, which means no cool statues or benches. Womp womp.
- Elhoffer Designs [Editor’s Note: YOUR NEW FAVORITE DESIGNER OMG CHECK HER OUT YOU WON’T BE SORRY] will be at SDCC this year, popping up in various locations. See the tweet below for their schedule at SDCC this year.
