Guess what, folks?! We made it! San Diego Comic-Con 2024 has gone from this year, to this month, to this week. You’ve probably seen all the setup going on in the Gaslamp Quarter as America’s Finest City gets ready to host the best pop culture convention in the world. Read on for SDCC announcements from ONI Press, Mitch Gerads, Chrissie Zullo Uminga, and a lot more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Art of PAO is bringing the cuteness to Artists’ Alley at Table #HH-17 with her three SDCC-exclusive sticker packs and Terno pin that can only leave you wanting more.
- We’re bummed that our good friend, artist Nick Kremenek, and his Dreamforger Studios won’t be able to be at San Diego Comic-Con this year personally. Lucky for us, he sent a few items along with his friends and fellow Firefly enthusiasts, the California Browncoats, for their Tables at #A-08 and #A-09 in Hall A in the Exhibit Hall, including his stunning portrait of Summer Glau as River Tam. Like they said in The Big Bang Theory, “It’s hot in here; it must be Summer,” (or the air conditioning broke again).

- Fans of brilliant comic artist J. Scott Campbell can swing by Booth #2029 during SDCC this year to complete their collection of The Ultimate Spider-Man #4 with this SDCC-exclusive virgin cover Variant D that he’s been holding onto specifically for San Diego Comic-Con. Limited to a release of only 1,800 pieces, you can find it at the booth for $50 unsigned and $70 signed by Campbell himself.

- Artist Frank Cho will debut the fourth installment of his stunning artbook, Outrage, at ComicSketchArt’s Booth #4901 during SDCC this year. I wonder how many books my outrage would fill? I’m pretty sure it would be more than four.

- Another legend coming to the ComicSketchArt Booth #4901 is Mitch Gerads, who’s bringing this amazing Wonder Woman print with him. Does Clark know that she’s willing and able to hit a guy with glasses?
Come get my new WONDER WOMAN print at #SDCC!
