IDW Reveals SDCC 2023 Exclusive Merch
The news keeps coming for SDCC! I’ve covered updates from DC and Marvel already, and now IDW is out with a list of the exclusive merchandise that attendees can snag at the event. Fans can stop by the IDW booth (#2729) to pick up exclusive variants, signed editions, and more!
The publisher noted they will be following up with more information on panels & signings in the coming days. But while we wait for that, let’s take a look at the awesome exclusives that will be available and let me know in the comments what you’ll be scouring the interwebs for if you won’t be there in person!
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES x STRANGER THINGS #1
The new series hits shelves next week (July 12), and fans at SDCC will have exclusive access to renowned illustrator Kyle Lambert’s silver foil paper variant for the thrilling debut issue.
SIGNED MARVEL STORIES ARTIST’S EDITION
Collectors won’t want to miss out on getting an early signed copy of MARVEL STORIES ARTIST’S EDITION. Signed by influential comic creator Michael Golden and numbered on a bookplate featuring his astonishing artwork, there will be a very limited amount of copies available.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: THE LAST RONIN - THE LOST DAY SPECIAL
