The Final Dynamite Teaser — have you figured it out yet?
We're told this is the final Dynamite teaser in this campaign. A guy with a gun... a little hard to guess this one.
Is Norman Reedus Killing Comic-Con?
I know you thought the "con kerfuffle" had faded away, but I think it's definitely an ongoing burning issue for the industry, in a rapidly evolving field, and Chris Butcher, retailer and a show runner himself for TCAF, as well as booth runner for Udon, has posted a brilliant summation that puts all the eggs in one basket and then hits that basket out of the park:

Yet another Dynamite Teaser — and this one is magical!

Seth’s Dominion documentary is showing in Montreal
A film has been made about Seth, the single named Autuer of Clyde Fans, It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken, Palookaville, and countless illustrations. It's called Seth's Dominion, it's directed by Luc Chamberland and it is described as "a hybrid documentary/animation film exploring the life of master cartoonist Seth."

Bond, James Bond coming from Dynamite
Dynamite Entertainment is well known for it's "pre show" barrage of announcements, and there have been some good ones, but it's safe to say that publisher Nick Barrucci has rarely been as excited over anything as this: Dynamite has been granted a worldwide license to publish James Bond comics, including early years, and, it appears, all the characters. So maybe Young Jaws and Pussy Galore when she was just Pussy Moderate-amount.
