And this year, Disney TV is bringing fourteen of their fan-favorite series for San Diego Comic-Con, including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Bob’s Burgers, The Rookie, The Orville, and more.
Stars from both ABC and 20th Century Fox will also be signing autographs at the convention – and while FOX TV’s autographs are available through the Online Exclusives Portal, ABC’s booth autographs will be ticketed at the booth, so get there early. FOX will also once again be offering free poster tubes, collectible mini-posters, premium giveaways, and DVD sales.
