It is a wonder-ful Tuesday, and we’ve got plenty of WonderCon teases for you this afternoon (evening? morning? Depends where you are!). Whether you’re looking for some offsites and after paties, great deals on comics, Euphoria content, or more — we’ve got you covered.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- We think there’s a very good chance we’ll get the WonderCon programming schedule on Friday, but until then, comedy writer and podcaster extraordinaire Tim Drake shared that his On the Mic Podcast will have a live show during their WonderCon panel.
- Jenisse Taylor showed off some beautiful mermaid bags, perfect for art supplies, cosmetics or even WonderCon purchases.
- Blog friend Nick Kremenek (also known as Dreamforger Studios), was putting pencil to paper for this lovely Natalie Portman portrait. Nick promises that she’ll be ready as a print in time for WonderCon.
- If you haven’t been following along with Toddland’s “guess what the pin is gonna be” on Twitter then we suggest you hop over there to see the excitement. The Bohemian Rat-Squishy pin will be #2 in their series of van pins and like all their new releases, will be available next week online for everyone to order. Now that’s service with a smile.
- Over on Instagram, Sherry Lee of SherryLouStudio wants to put a spring in your step with these lovely vinyl stickers featuring a very heartwarming bouquet. Sherry says their next event is WonderCon so we encourage you to stop by for a little ray of sunshine.

- We are absolutely sure that CCI will post the full exhibitor map soon, but until then, you can see where our pals from BeeFy will be hunkered down and waiting to see your smiling faces, Booth #1808. Fingers cross they will have their Demon Slayer tee available!
- Artist Lafayette Azevedo will have no shortage of wonderful prints for you to choose from at WonderCon. We spy characters from the Invincible, Star Wars, DC and Marvel universe in that tease. You’ll be able to find him in Artist Alley at table B-35.

- Artist and Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld is offering fans a bargain of a deal with a WonderCon VIP Super Pack, which will get you five signed exclusive edition comic books including a chrome variant of Prophet #1, plus a photo op. You can find all the details on his website.
- Comic writer Dan Jurgens made a disappointing announcement on Twitter; he will not be attending WonderCon this year. Hope to see you next time, Dan!
- Don’t mind us if we break a sweat looking at all the heavy hitters in Patrick Ballesteros’ newest addition to his “Can You Hear me Now” series. Entanto’s Luisa is shouldering the giants Maui from Moana, Jack Jack from The Incredibles, Big Hero 6‘s Baymax and original muscle man, Hercules.
- And it won’t be all kid’s stuff from Patrick this year, who showed off some Euphoria stickers that are a work in progress and asked if he should bring them to SDCC or WonderCon. Please insert a “Why Not Both?” meme here.
- Shumi Nation is welcoming anime fans back with open arms and promising a roster full of special guests in addition to their selection of 100% authentic products. Any guesses on those guests?
- By day he draws Disney and by night, Bryan Mon is the creator of Unstoppable Tuff-Girl, who is the subject of these stickers and pins that Bryon will have at WonderCon.
