PORTLAND, OR., July 5, 2018—The monster is upon us. Catch us at booth #1833 in San Diego, CA at the San Diego Convention Center, July 18-22. All weekend long you’ll find signings with your favorite creators, new Oni Press releases, comics, books, convention exclusives, and more! Colleen Coover will also be signing with us in support of her 2018 Eisner-nominated title, Small Favors, and we will even have the coveted Chamomile plushie to celebrate our other Eisner-nominated title, The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O’Neill.
In case you missed the news from last year, we’ve signed on with Simon & Schuster as our new book distributor. We are also turning 20 years young with new staff including our talented Director of Sales, Margot Wood from Epic Reads, Marketing Design Manager, Sandy Tanaka, from Dark Horse, and Sarah Gaydos from IDW.
We’ve got a lot to talk about, with old friends and new. We are super excited about the release of The Long Con #1, with a variant cover by Sara Richard (My Little Pony) as well as our totally rad Con-apocalyptic themed GIF booth for your photo taking and social sharing pleasure.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Now, without further ado, check out all the amazing exclusives, signings, panels, and offerings at SDCC 2018!
