Now that WonderCon is behind us, it’s full steam ahead towards San Diego Comic-Con. This week we have announcements on guests like Lucky Yates (which is good news for those hoping for an Archer panel!), signings, vinyl exclusive news, and more.
Here’s some news you may have missed:
- Archer actor Lucky Yates revealed in a reddit AMA that yes, he will be attending Comic-Con this summer, and yes, he will be on a panel at the convention – presumably for Archer, which he’s attended for the last several years.
- Young Adult author Natalie C Parker, whose debut novel Beware The Wild hits bookstores this fall, replied to a reader on Twitter that she’ll be signing at SDCC this year, her first appearance at the convention.
@LaZurch Hey! No, to BEA, yes to SDCC. It'll be my first. 🙂
