As is their tradition, BOOM! is having a drink up / party at Comicon. This year, it’s being co-sponsored by 20th Century Fox Film, who you should probably get used to seeing around BOOM!, seeing as how they purchased a stake in the publisher last month.
The event will be held at the Hilton Bayfront‘s Odysea lounge on Thursday the 20th at 9pm and BOOM!/Fox will happy to give the first 1000 fans a ticket for their first drink (and be sure to bring your legal ID, carding is involved for alcoholic beverages).
Simply pick up a free party invitation/drink ticket from the BOOM! Studios booth (#2229) or the Fox booth (#4229) while supplies last and present it when you arrive at the Odysea Lounge for your free drink!

“The BOOM! Studios Drink Up at Comic-Con is unique because it’s THE party open to fans, creators, and professionals alike. It’s my favorite event of the year because it allows us to both catch up with old friends and make some new ones,” said Filip Sablik, BOOM! Studios President of Publishing & Marketing. “Our deeper relationship with Fox allows us take things to the next level in many ways, in this case to buy YOU a drink to say thank you for supporting the innovative comics published by BOOM! Studios over the years.”
This will be the biggest San Diego Comic-Con for BOOM! Studios yet, with a brand-new redesigned booth featuring more creator signings, more limited-edition convention exclusives, and more dynamic and engaging panel programming.
