Here’s a roundup of some of the recent news you may have missed:

• Visit Anaheim is giving away a pair of 3-Day WonderCon badges over on their Instagram. Contest ends real soon, though, so head over to find out how to participate.

• Cosplayer Isabel Dieppa will be part of the Hellfire Gala Walk, taking place on WonderCon Saturday, March 25 at 12pm PT at the palm tree garden in front of the Anaheim Convention Center. She shared a preview of her top-notch Jean Grey look inspired by a Jen Bartel cover. You can follow along on Instagram or Facebook to stay up-to-date on details about the event.

I am SO PROUD of the work this entire group of Cosplayers is doing for our #Hellfiregala walk at Wonder Con.

Being a part of this has been so healing. @KrystinaArielle inspired me to take up space w/my cosplays. I did & was invited to walk! I feel seen. Design by @heyjenbartel pic.twitter.com/g955YMZbUC

• This author probably watches too much sports and is also a sucker for a good pop culture mashup, so S. Preston’s Ballpark Princess series is right up his alley. Take yourself out to the ballgame… and by ballgame, we mean the S. Preston Art + Designs at Booth #2173, to find some debut art from the series.
