Looks like a great lineup for IDW.
SAN DIEGO, CA (July 23, 2021) – Kick off this weekend’s Comic-Con@Home with a blast, courtesy of IDW! Whether it’s toothy close encounters in a shark laboratory with the creator of Surfside Girls, or a kitchen comic cook-off with the creators of Onion Skin and The Delicacy, IDW proves that virtual programming for comic conventions can be so much more than just talking heads!
Not only will IDW engage fans with three innovative creator panels (“Comics Kitchen”, “The Art of IDW”, and “Dive Into an Ocean of Science”), we’ve got lots of awesome convention items for fans to purchase, including 10 brand-new convention exclusive comic variants and special sales including Marvel-themed Artist’s Editions and hard-to-find exclusives from conventions past!

Joe, Locke & Key / The Sandman Universe, My Little Pony, Sonic The Hedgehog, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, Transformers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — receive the Convention Exclusive treatment with variant covers, available at IDW’s dedicated Comic-Con@Home Exclusives web page (sdcc.idwpublishing.com) from now until Sunday at 11:59pm PT.
