IDW is returning to the show floor at San Diego Comic-Con 2023, and they’re bringing a host of goodies and exclusives for fans of their biggest properties.
From TMNT to Locke & Key and Dungeons & Dragons, IDW has fans covered for both the SDCC show floor and offerings available via its Exclusives Online Shop.
According to the press release, fans will be able to get their hands on these items by visiting IDW at Booth #2729, right next to Keenspot Entertainment and Top Cow Productions (not to mention sandwiched between Marvel & LEGO’s booths).
Here’s a look at everything IDW will have available exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con.
SDCC Exclusives
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES x STRANGER THINGS #1 hits shelves 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.
Comic collectors won’t want to miss out on getting an early signed copy of MICHAEL GOLDEN’S 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.
The Eisner-nominated STAR TREK series unleashes DAY OF BLOOD #1 the week of SDCC, and the IDW booth will feature an eye-catching exclusive variant cover by STAR TREK artist Ángel Unzueta. The must-own issue is boldly printed on silver foil paper.
Continuing awesome artist Ben Bishop and eye-catching colorist Luis Antonio Delgado’s series of exclusive variants, April O’Neil stars on the cover for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: THE LAST RONIN – THE LOST DAY SPECIAL. Bishop will be signing at the booth – details to come – and unlike the other variants in the series, this one features black bars instead of light blue.
