Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you al enjoyed Thursday’s frenzy of San Diego Comic-Con news. Did you get a reservation for the Jurassic Park offsite? Did any of the Funko reveals make your “MUST BUY” list? Have you memorized the exhibitor map yet? I know it might have seemed like a lot of news came out at once, but I hate to tell you, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. So take some time this weekend to browse our News and start making your plans. Comic-Con 2023 will be here before you know it!
Now let’s take a look at the news you might have missed:

- If you’re looking for a VERY one-of-a-kind SDCC souvenir, and you’re a fan of Priscilla Wilson, then you’re going to want to stay at the con until the bitter end. Wilson is offering her show banner to a lucky attendee.
Also, I probably won't want to keep this after SDCC is over. So if anybody wants a truly unique/bizarre collectible, somebody can probably take it towards the end of the day on Sunday.

- Did you catch the Con Rangers announcement yesterday among all the other news? Well, there’s more still to come, as they’ll be bringing their sashes back this year.
Yes, we'll have sashes again! The badges all have iron-on backings, so it's easy to attach them that way, some people will sew to reinforce them, but the ironing does make a strong seal

This issue has a blank back sketch cover, and fans will be able to get a sketch from writer/illustrator Douglas Paszkiewicz every day during the con at Booth #2200.
