What SDCC 2026 Comic Book Exclusives Are Worth Waiting In Line For? (Part Two)

As there a tons of SDCC 2026 Comic Book exclusives being offer this year, we take on the tough task on which 10 titles are worth waiting in line for!

SDCC 2026 Comic Book ExclusivesWhen some fans are seeking out SDCC 2026 comic book exclusives, the big question some may ask will be which titles are must haves? That’s because with these exclusive variant covers, they make great display pieces rather than gold mines for speculating (i.e. resale value). It’s not to say they are all going to make a solid investment, and that’s why a lot of these offerings are limited in scope, so no one can scalp.

As for which titles I’d personally go after, I continue in my list to focus only on the comics offered by the following companies. Sorry Marvel and DC but there nothing from your list of announced goodies that doesn’t strike me as special.

Which SDCC 2026 Exclusives Are Worth Waiting in Line For?

Titan Entertainment, Mondo, and artist Chris Uminga are the highlights of this year’s must-grab SDCC 2026 exclusives; with a lottery system back in play, fans will want a game plan before hitting the show floor.

SDCC 2026 ExclusivesThe big convention down in San Diego is almost here, and while I feel divided over where my allegiances should lean to first, I still have to see what I can ask my friends attending to pick up for me. Yes, some of these SDCC 2026 exclusives may be worthwhile grabbing while they are hot.

As for movies and special screenings, the biggest upcoming films naturally get a massive Hall H push, but that’s not why I follow this event from afar. I have to love Image Comics for their cheeky release, Dread the Hall H, and that read is simply spot-on!

Godzilla’s Powering Through San Diego Comic Con 2025: What Spectacular Surprises Await?

When San Diego Comic Con is home to many a pop culture icon to graze it shores, the question of what exclusives attendees want will vary. But here, we love our Godzilla!

godzilla at San Diego Comic ConWith San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2025 right around the corner, the exclusives offered are many, and just what must be sought after will depend on personal tastes. I had to take a look at this year since last year was terrific with a Godzilla miniature offered by CMON that came packaged with a comic. Although the latter is a tale that’s amusing to jive with marketing the game, I had to take a look to see if there’s a similar offering. 

When I have to construct a list of what’s been announced so far regarding this kaiju, hopefully this will help fans going to this show.

Weekend Recap: Comic-Con@Home vs Pokemon GO Fest 2020! The Result…

Between Comic Con and NIantic’s event, to say which is better is tough fans of everything, every where can’t do it all at once.

San Deigo Comic Con International LogoBetween Pokemon GO Fest (Home Edition) and Comic-Con2020@Home, this weekend was certainly packed with a lot of nerdy delights to do. With the latter, one could participate in online gaming of various sorts–including teaming up with players in PoGO for remote raids–check out virtual panels or shop.

Believe it or not, I took part in both.

Niantic’s revised plans for their celebration of their flagship game was good. Saturday was better than Sunday. With rotating habitats coming to you instead of you wandering the city with a face mask on is an excellent plan. Players can play for a few hours or go nuts during both days! Sadly, nobody is going to get anything good by couch surfing this game; hundos, shinies and legendaries aren’t going to be in abundance by playing at home. Instead, players have to wander the neighbourhood to maximize their gains. The timed research tasks were not too difficult, and can be done within 3-4 hours.

Day two was a disappointment. There were no more habitats, and everything was just piled into one huge mega eight hour D&D quest where walking and searching is required for those who braved the elements–especially for those hunters wanting a shiny Gible.

Featuring brand-new cover art from the creator himself, all 35 volumes of the original Shaman King series – including the final three volumes never before published in English – will be available to read digitally starting next Tuesday, as part of the ComiXology Originals line of exclusive content.

For those who missed the Shaman King SDCC2020@Home YouTube stream fret not. There were hiccups at the time it was supposed to go live and it is fixed.

How to Partake in SDCC 2020 @Home Edition

San Deigo Comic Con International Logo 2The 2020 San Diego Comic Con is here (sort of) and this year, because of a certain pandemic, it’s gone fully virtual! That means you can join in the fun from anywhere in the world. While the at home edition is nothing like the real thing, I’m glad that I can partake in a partial experience. Will I want a keepsake? Maybe…

From industry panels to what’s upcoming–including many anniversary celebrations–the choice of what to do is not as limited as one may think. Without bumping into your favourite hero or pop culture icon in the causeway for a photo op, the only hope is that the mailman can at least bring those items ordered while dressed as Deadpool. The exhibit hall will go online for the duration of the physical event for those wanting to purchase goodies, but will there be exclusives?

On my digital itinerary are my top picks in what to tune in to. The links will to to YouTube when the panel goes live.
