We are less than three weeks away from WonderCon Anaheim 2022, and the big (sister) show will be here before we know it. Badges are still available (just go to your Member ID) for what is sure to be an awesome weekend of exclusives, artwork, panels, cosplay, and more!
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Get your gaming accessories on with Thornhill Gaming, who are excited to be exhibiting at the convention for the first time. Stop by to give them a warm welcome (and to pick up some tabletop and dice accessories!).
Holy shit…I got into wondercon.
Didn’t feel real, just got my booth assignment.— Thornhill Gaming (@thornhillgaming) March 3, 2022
- Illustrator Megan Porch is heading to WonderCon, and she’s bringing what looks like some fun-guys with her (we’re not sorry). She will have this adorable mushroom tote for purchase at the con. This is a bag that really looks like it has so mushroom for all your belongings (still not sorry).
Very excited about the merch I’m gonna have for #Wondercon! Here’s a little mock up of a tote bag I just ordered. pic.twitter.com/5t2inG0BOW

Here we goooo! New Super Mini print coming to WonderCon in April. Dropped in a simple background and enhanced some lighting just for this print. So moody!
