It seems like San Diego Comic-Con 2020 is a long time away with just over 162 days left until the con, but we still found lots of great SDCC news to share. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some con news from Elhoffer Design, the Afrofuturism Lounge, and a lot more.

Here’s a look at what you might have missed:

Curtis Andersen, better known as Gordie from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, attempted to console a Twitter fan with his 2020 con schedule, which included SDCC 2020. Hopefully, it made her feel a little better.

Elhoffer Design, who creates some of the best geek fashion this side of the galaxy, informed their email list subscribers where they can be found this year — at Comic-Con! It’s their only planned convention for the year, but they plan to go BIG by “bringing a dozen new items that will drop at the show”.

Is this our first exclusive news of 2020 for San Diego Comic-Con? It just might be. Fans of artist Agnes Garbowska will be looking for her Oni Exclusive SDCC cover variant for Aggretsuko #1 at SDCC this year.
