San Diego Comic-Con International is halfway through its 50th annual event and The Beat is on the scene! At the end of each day, we are rounding up our SDCC ’19 coverage so you don’t miss a single headline, whether you’re on the con floor in San Diego or following along from somewhere else. Friday’s Comic-Con news was packed with trailers, publisher announcements, panels and more — and we’ve got it all, right here on The Beat.
Be sure to follow us on Twitter @ComicsBeatLive for live-tweeting in addition to our regular coverage, and on Instagram for photos, videos and more. You can also check out the hashtag #BeatSDCC19 on both platforms for coverage from our team of reporters. Finally, here is our list of survival tips and tricks if it’s your first time at SDCC (or if you just want advice from another vet).
Perhaps the most important part of Friday’s Comic-Con news is the 2019 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards winners, led this year by Tom King with four wins, including Best Writer for the second year in a row. Our Kyle Pinion liveblogged the ceremony; check out his recounting here.
