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.
