Did you catch the Thursday schedule drop for SDCC 2023 this morning? Time to start blocking off those Thursday panel spots on your calendar. When you’re not in a panel room, though, you’ll be heading to the Exhibit Hall to check out some of the amazing art and exclusives that come every year. Read on to see what you’ll find this year from artists like Don Nguyen, Adi Granov, and lots of great exclusives.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- F.C. Yee, author of the Chronicles of the Avatar series, will be at SDCC this year to promote the fourth book in the series, Avatar: The Legacy of Yangchen. He’ll also be participating in some panels and signings, so keep an eye on our Autographs and Panels posts for where he’ll be during the con.

- (Don’t call it a you-know-what hunt) Artist Don Nguyen is excited for his official CCI-approved Unofficial SDCC Indie Floor Tour 2023. He’s gathered some of the best artists on the Exhibit Hall floor together for an epic table hopping exercise full of fun prizes and swag. How many artists can you check off Nguyen’s list before you get yelled at by security for something?
NOT FINAL FORM but we got approved by #SDCC !!! So I'm happy to say 20+ vendors involved in the #IndieFloorTour.

- Oh, Super7, how you like to tease us. Their latest is a Dungeons & Dragons action figure tease that I’d probably know better if my friends were more successful in getting me interested in the game back in 1996.
Epic adventures against fearsome beasts await! #ComingSoon #SDCC #Super7 pic.twitter.com/xFfwNr018R
