Yesterday truly kicked off San Diego Comic-Con season, with the first really big panel news of the year (as far as what’s coming, that is — which is, apparently, Game of Thrones). But that’s not all the news of lat,e as we’ve got updated on adorable plush, ComiXology signings, the deadliest KitKat bars you’ve ever seen, and more.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Artist Andrew Bell showed off this year’s KillKat vinyl exclusive, “Purple Drank”. You’ll be able to get it at Dead Zebra Booth #1335.

- Our good friends at Super7 always make some of the coolest things on the show floor, and this year they’re returning for their 16th consecutive year. Can they top last year’s Masters of the Universe Laughing Prince Adam? Time will tell.
YES, Super7 will be returning to San Diego and our booth at @Comic_Con for the 16th (!) consecutive year! Crazy! Stay tuned as we begin the annual ritual of revealing all of the amazing F-U-N we have planned this year! #sdcc #super7 pic.twitter.com/MXHNON5oYv

- Author and cartoonist C. Spike Trotman is heading to San Diego Comic-Con, where she’ll have panels, signings at the ComiXology booth, and more.
The official panel schedule is still being sorted, but it looks like I'll have one every day of the show, not including @comiXology booth signings, so if you wanna see me? I'll be easy to find. ( o_o)-b

- Speaking of signings at ComiXology, writer Jim Zub is also heading back to SDCC after a few years away for signings at ComiXology, and signings/panels with a whole slew of other amazing companies.
I haven't been to SDCC in three years, so it's great to be heading back.
Beyond promoting Stone Star at comiXology, I don't have an HQ for the week/weekend, so I'm looking forward to exploring and socializing!

- Artist Fabio Napoleoni always has something fun going on with the Chuck Jones Gallery for SDCC, and 2019 is no different. He showed off a Scooby and Shaggy piece which looks to be set for a special Chuck Jones show — hopefully more info to share soon.

Anyone planning to attend this year's @Comic_Con can find me at Table II-24, which should be easy to find as I'm in the first row facing the entrance to Hall G according to the map I've downloaded.
