“Comic-Con is almost here. The smell of pretzels and hot dogs woft near. Mylanta on hand, you go forth with no plan, no agenda, simply a sneer.
Comic-Con is almost here. The cosplayers looking regal, “Is that Jason Segal” scurrying through the Bayfront Hilton you wonder, the upheaval answers your query.
Comic-Con is almost here.”
Let’s take a look at the San Diego Comic-Con 2023 news you might have missed:
- The Jack Kirby Museum & Research Center looks to have some sort of presence at Comic-Con this year based off of the calendar located on the site. You can find the calendar here and just scroll to the July.
- Mouse Guard creator David Petersen is headed to San Diego Comic-Con this year. The question was asked on Twitter if David would be attending and David gave a “yes” response, and it doesn’t get much more clear cut than that.
Yes. Still waiting on booth info details
