San Diego Comic-Con 2017 is officially this week, which is both as AMAZING OMG as it is TERRIFYING OMG. We’ve still got a lot of news to cover here in the next three days — including updates on artists and exhibitors.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- GUNNAR Optiks is returning to SDCC with their third annual GUNNAR Guardians Giveaway. From July 20-22, they’ll be giving away prize packs worth $600 twice a day, once at 11AM, then at 2PM each day. The prize packs contain swag from retailers such as GUNNAR themselves, Razer, Filthy Casual, Bandai Namco, Perfect World, McFarlane Toys, Hydro74, and Stelekon. You’ll have to follow their Twitter to find out where they’re hiding downtown. When you find them, simply tell them the secret password: David Hasselhoff is my Dad! They’re also running an online contest for those who can’t be in San Diego. Find all the details on their contest site here.

- By now, we’re sure you’ve heard they’ve announced the identity of the 13th Doctor for Doctor Who. Syfy wants to know what you think about it and is soliciting questions for SDCC via Twitter. Does this mean they’ll have the whole cast there? It seems likely to us, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
This is a milestone moment for #DoctorWho. Got questions? We'll be hanging out with the cast at #SDCC. Reply & tell us what you want to know
