In case you missed the news from last year, we've signed on with Simon & Schuster as our new book distributor. We also welcomed a new Director of Sales, Margot Wood, who will be with us at Emerald City.
We've got a lot to talk about, with old friends and new. We look forward to seeing you soon! Now, without further ado, check out all the amazing exclusives, signings, panels, and offerings at this year's Comic Con kick off!
