- Gotta get that Dark Nights: Metal #1 signed by Scott Snyder? Better plan ahead and make it a priority. As Scott lays out in this tweet, his signings fill up and his pre-signed books sell out quickly. May the odds be ever in your favor.
My 2019 @WonderCon schedule – come by! pic.twitter.com/JA0AOwmugf

- Writer Charles Soule plans on bringing a great selection of his books to sell, but if there is a hole in your collection that you’d like to fill, let him know, he’ll be sure to bring it along. Talk about service!
I’ll be at @WonderCon this weekend in sunny Anaheim! Table E-7 in Artist’s Alley. First show of the season – psyched.
I should have some of everything (Marvel, Star Wars, Curse Words, Oracle Year, Letter 44), but if there’s something specific you want me to bring, let me know.

- We were disappointed to hear that a mysterious “clerical error” has changed the plans of Amy Mebberson and James Silvani. They will no longer be attending WonderCon.
So this year, @silvaniart and I will not be tabling at Wondercon (due to clerical error). We’ll be at Steel City Comic Con and Awesome Con in DC in April! SDCC and D23 Expo will be our SoCal shows for 2019.

- Make some time in your WonderCon trip to “Roll out!” to the Grand Plaza and get your picture taken with a 12′ tall Bumblebee Transformer. Seriously.
