The table is set with the finest of linens, the cornucopia is positively overflowing, and the paper turkeys are… well, are doin’ whatever paper turkeys do in the lead up to the big feast. Lucky for you, we have filled this gravy boat full of exciting and fun news for the upcoming Comic-Con Special Edition in San Diego. The full programming schedule is now online but you’ll want to leave yourself plenty of free time for mini originals by a certain artist whose name rhymes with Hattrick Mallesteros, voice actor Bekka Prewitt, a full on bounty hunter from The Mandalorian and so much more.
Let’s take a look at the new you might have missed:
- Los Angeles based artist and creator of the comic book GUN, Jack Foster will be attending CCSE and is promising to bring along some prints for your perusal. He’s already shown us two of the six prints he’s planning on bringing with him. This is Foster’s first time attending a CCI event, but hopefully not the last.
Some good news 🥳 I’ll be tabling at San Diego Comic Con’s mini con over Thanksgiving weekend, it’ll be my 1st time at SDCC & I’m super excited but more on that later… I want to print up a portfolio of 6 prints – Question: Do you like a white border or edge to edge? weigh in 👇 pic.twitter.com/RQADahZOk8

- The good folks from Machine Comix, publishers of Tribal Force, Tales of Elysium and more, hope to see you at their booth in Artist’s Alley. San Diego Comic-Con Special Edition is their debut convention so let’s help make it a great one for them. You’ll be able to pick up exclusive convention merch and get a look at their upcoming projects.
- Celine Chapus, also known as Purple Top Hat on Etsy, will also be found in Artists Alley. They acknowledge what we’ve all been thinking, that CCSE is just the morale boost we need right now.
Guess I can say it now- I’ll be sitting in the artist alley at the upcoming San Diego @Comic_Con special edition Nov 26-28! Man, the past two years have been hard on the morale, it’s good to see some kind of light even if the damn tunnel ain’t ending yet. Anyhoo. SDCC YAY! #SDCC

- Just after “When will badges ship?” on our most asked questions list is “Will Patrick Ballesteros have his mini originals?” We are happy to say the answer is YES! Fair warning that these gems always go quickly so maybe don’t fill up on too many mashed potatoes and impede your swift walk to his booth in the mornings.
BEYOND….
More mini originals waiting for liftoff.#lightyear #SDCC #CCSE #comicconspecialedition pic.twitter.com/8hiYO7mQcH
