If you’re on the verge of panic regarding all things SDCC you’re not alone. This morning it felt like a wave of reality swept over social media knocking us down, We should be packed, we should be (more) prepared, we should be ready to go… but we’re not. We never are. All we can do is our best and help you to do your best. So let’s look at some more awesome art from Chrissie Zullo, a life-size LEGO Iron Man, some Russo Brothers swag and just enjoy this moment of peace.
Let’s take a look at the news you might have missed:
- Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. Actor Doug Jones will not be attending Comic-Con this year, breaking a 10 year streak. A bummer to us all, surely. You’ll be missed, Mr. Jones!
Welp. Dang it all. Just found out I have not been released from @startrekcbs production to travel for Comic Con this coming weekend. My first time missing #SDCC in 10 years.
