Fourth Wave of Guests for San Diego Comic-Con 2017 Announced

We know, okay? You want badge news. And honestly, we think at some point within the next two weeks, we’ll have some – but first, we’ve got some news on Special Guests.

The Toucan Blog has shared the next round of Special Guests headed to SDCC 2017:

• Simon Hanselmann • Cartoonist, Megahex
• Robin Hobb • Author, The Farseer Trilogy, The Fitz and the Fool Trilogy
• Dustin Nguyen • Writer, artist, Descender, Secret Hero Society, Li’l Gotham
• William Stout • Artist, The Dinosaurs

Special guests typically receive a special “Spotlight” panel during the convention, so attendees have a chance to hear their favorite authors and artists speak live.

According to CCI, they’ll announce additional guests next Monday – so keep your eyes peeled for more exciting announcements. You can also catch up on tons of other things and people who will be at San Diego Comic-Con in our Under the Tents updates.

Are you excited about these guests? Let us know in the comments.

GeekShot Exclusive Photo Series Vol. 4 (Week 1)

Welcome to the GeekShot Photo Exclusive Series. This will be a regularly recurring post featuring cool, interesting, or just plain awesome moments we have captured during San Diego Comic-Con and WonderCon over the years. Each post will include a photo by Beth or James of GeekShot Photography. We may include a short story about the photo, but sometimes we’ll just let the photo speak for itself.

About This Photo

San Diego at night during SDCC 2016.

We’re back with Volume Four! We took an extended break because, well, we needed it. We hope you’ll enjoy this coming year of photos as we show the variety that Comic-Con offers.

The last couple years have started off with a bit more muscle, but we felt showing off the city and convention center at night was a good way to come back after our break. Also, no one removed their shirt at any of the panels we attended last year.

I took this on the bridge over Harbor close to midnight on Saturday night last year. I spent about an hour taking long exposures. This one is a 30 second shot at f18 and ISO 100. I wanted to capture the light trails from the cars and trolley, so it took some time and multiple shots to time it just right.

Taking time out for photos around the Gaslamp instead of running around to panels and events was one of the things I wanted make sure I did last year. I did manage it as you can see, but only for a few hours out of the entire weekend. Maybe this year I’ll manage a few more hours and find somewhere new and interesting to take another long exposure.

Did you take time out for something different last year? Let us know in the comments.

Third Wave of Guests for San Diego Comic-Con 2017 Announced

While there’s still no news on Returning Registration (apart from CCI’s promise that they are working on it, which basically feels like they may as well have posted the “Hang In There” poster from Mr. Robot) – that doesn’t mean that there’s no news about Comic-Con 2017.

The Toucan Blog has shared the next round of Special Guests headed to SDCC 2017:

• Box Brown • Writer/artist, André the Giant: Life and Legend, Tetris: The Games People Play
• Marjorie Liu • Writer, Monstress, Black Widow, Astonishing X-Men
• Mike Royer • Artist, inker, letterer, Kirby’s Fourth World series
• Brian Selznick • Author, illustrator, Wonderstruck, The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Special guests typically receive a special “Spotlight” panel during the convention, so attendees have a chance to hear their favorite authors and artists speak live.

According to CCI, they’ll announce additional guests next Monday – so keep your eyes peeled for more exciting announcements. You can also catch up on tons of other things and people who will be at San Diego Comic-Con in our Under the Tents updates.
