BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
How many exclusives are too many? According to publisher IDW, apparently there is no limit. We’ve got the full tidal wave of exclusives.
Lots o comics
Some companies do a few exclusives, some do a lot… and then there’s IDW. The longtime comic publisher usually has a monster amount of exclusive books on hand for the big cons, and this coming SDCC will be no different.
What’s kind of unusual though, is that you can actually pre-order some of these, and then pick them up at the show. That’s a bit different, as anyone who regularly attends Comic Con will tell you. It’s a good kind of unusual though, so we’ll take it.
All online pre-orders have to be picked up at booth #2743. You can get them any time, starting July 18 the July 22 (during show hours). Just a head’s up though, you’ll need to bring the credit card you paid with online and your ID for the pickup.
Clicking here will take you to the full list of everything they ready for pre-order, including cover illustrations. There’s plenty more though, that will only be available at the Con, and that you can’t pay for ahead of time.
So with that in mind, scroll down for everything.
