BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Toy-maker Hasbro is going all out for Comic Con next week, with plenty of panel presentations. Here’s the full list of what you can check out.
Something for everybody
It’s no secret that Hasbro has a lot of awesome licenses under its banner. The company counts Marvel and Star Wars, which are impressive enough, but add in its in-house brands and you have quite the juggernaut.
Those are IPs that include Transformers, G.I. Joe, Magic: The Gathering, Power Rangers and more. Yeah, it’s quite a list, and if you’re going to Comic Con next week, you can check out panels showcasing pretty much all of it.
Yesterday we told you about the exclusives and new announcements, like Selfie Series and Dungeons & Dragons, but today we’ve got that full panel list.
