Welcome to the second Monday in June. There are roughly 37(!) days and 8 hours until SDCC 2019 (GAH!). But that’s just numbers and statistics. You want to know who’s going to be there, and we’re here to help. Comic-Con International announced their “alumni” special guests you’ll see at SDCC 2019.

Special guests typically receive a special “Spotlight” panel during the convention, so attendees have a chance to hear their favorite authors and artists speak live.
According to CCI, this is the last wave of special guests, but there are often last-minute announcements, so we’ll wait and see. You can also catch up on tons of other things and people who will be at San Diego Comic-Con in our Under the Tents updates.
