SDCC ’25: Image set to hit Comic Con with huge selection of panels, signings, and Con exclusives

Image Comics is set to make landfall at 2025’s SDCC, and will be bringing a full slate of show exclusives, panels, and signings.

It’s all happening at the Con

From its not-so humble beginnings back in 1992, Image Comics has become home to some of the biggest properties of the day. All you have to do is take a look at titles like Invincible and The Walking Dead as proof of that. That doesn’t even get us into the Ghost Machine imprint, that being home to a full spread of original titles from some of the biggest writers and artists in the modern comics age. For that matter, you can add the popular shared Energon Universe to the mix, which brought G.I. Joe and Transformers back to stands in style.

With all that in mind, you’d expect Image to have a large presence at SDCC, and indeed it will have quite the footprint. Not that that’s anything new for the company, as there’s always a considerable Image setup at marquee Cons, though this year’s event seems a little extra so.

Image will have a booth on the main floor of course, which you’ll be able to find at booth #1915, and will be filled with exclusives. That’ll be plus a gigantic selection of panels and in-booth signings however, which will be taking place almost all the way through the show.

As to when sow-goers will be able to get in on all of the above, look for the Image Comics fun to kick off on Wednesday, July 23rd, and run through the 27th.
