What are your plans for the next 48 hours? If you’re reading this, we’re guessing you’re in final preparations for your trip to the Anaheim Convention Center this weekend for WonderCon 2023. We have a loaded WonderPost to help with those preparations with news from Felix Comic Art, JEPROX, Jess Chrysler, and a lot more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Exhibit Hall, Comic Book Clothing will have some cheeky geeky parody t-shirts at Booth #1837. Dump their cargo? Only at WonderCon.
- Rocketship Entertainment has some huge plans for WonderCon this year. They’re building an entire Rocketship Way Station at Booth #1605 to highlight some of their amazing graphic novels, games, and a lot more. They’re also bringing some heavy talent with them, including Leeanne M. Krecic (Let’s Play, Everdate), Ryan Benjamin (Brothers Bond, Stan Lee’s Genesis), and Tom Akel (Stan Lee’s Genesis, Stan Lee’s Backchannel). The folks over at FreakSugar have all the details, including Rocketship’s full schedule.
- Artist Jess Chrysler is swooping into WonderCon 2023 with a brand new comic book (still has that new comic book smell) and lots of new art. Stop by Table #E-46 in Artists’ Alley for all of her goodies.
- LA-based graphic designer and illustrator Paolo Encarnacion found Bigfoot and is bringing him along to Artists’ Alley Table #B-46. Be careful with your beef jerky.
- Along with his new comic, Yes, Luke McGarry is bringing some very honest tote bags to Booth #1410 at WonderCon. Yeah, don’t ask me about motorcycles, either.
- Artist King Kuma will have this awesome Sonic: The Hedgehog print available at Artists’ Alley Table #F-49 at WonderCon.
The Babylon Rouges are still probably the sickest Sonic designs (or maybe I have a bias idk lol)
