With just 16 days left until San Diego Comic-Con 2018, we are entering crunch time. Anticipation of the schedule release alone has us all polishing our spreadsheets and hoping we don’t have too many conflicting panels. That being said, how about we bring you some SDCC news that’s just as exciting but just a little harder to find?
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- How cold do you like your classic 90’s hip-hop, Ice-T, Vanilla Ice, or Ice Cube? Slushcult will have all three ice cold hip-hop icons available in their Ice Pack at SDCC this year. Stop by and tell them today was a good day.
