Ready, Comic-Con cadets?! You’ve worked hard to get here — an almost-three year process that’s required feats of great patience and stamina. And that’s just to get to the convention, where you’ll need to jump through more hoops to unlock your “perfect” convention.
Luckily, Con Rangers are here with the return of their San Diego Comic-Con “merit badges”, to give you a little recognition for all of that hard work. These are always one of our favorite items on the show floor, as they pay tribute to not just our favorite convention, but also to all of the little victories along the way.
You can pick them up at Small Press #Q-16.
