Hello everyone! I’m so glad to be back at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) this year, and I couldn’t be more excited to attend. Check out all the fun I had for SDCC 2024 Preview Night!
Meeting Comic Artist Don Agoncillo
The day started with an unexpected encounter at the airport. While waiting to board my flight, I bumped into comic artist Don Agoncillo. Don does epic comicbook covers for Image, DC, and Marvel comics. I highly recommend you check out his work.
This is totally what SDCC is about: getting an opportunity to geek out with comic creators, fans, and artists (even before the cons starts). Great meeting you again Don!
SKKAW.BLOG Back at it Again
Glad to meet up with @Justinwordsmith for SDCC 2024. We’ve been adventuring to SDCC for a while, and he’s also been blogging here at SKKAW.BLOG as well. Super excited to attend SDCC with Justin again this year!
Attending SDCC Preview Night
I had never attended preview night for SDCC before, so I personally wasn’t sure what to expect. I 100% was looking forward to using this night to check out the convention floor.
Comic-Con Exclusive Merch
SDCC is renowned for its exclusive toys, accessories and merchandise. A lot of it being super challenging to get access to, even at the convention itself. So I had try my luck at geting some exclusive SDCC merch. Here’s what I was able to get:
Was lucky enough to snag some epic merch from Trinity Comics and RSVLTS.
Meeting Legendary comic creator Whilce Portacio (again)!
So grateful for the opportunity to meet Whilce Portacio again. We met a couple times before at SDCC previously. He’s been an inspiration to me since I was young, so it was so great to spend some time with him to talk about his work.
We also talked about Filipino rock bands, comicart, and some of his projects that are still in the works. We spent A LOT of time talking TBH, and I truly appreciated it. You can see it in my face 🙂 What an epic Con moment!
Comic Artist Encounters
I was also able to meet Manuel Martinez at SDCC as well. I’d first met Manuel at SDCC previously, and have been visiting his booth every Comic-Con since. I really love his ink work. I find it stunning and captivating. Really recommend you check his work out.
So much happened today it’s impossible to capture it all. So that’s it for SDCC Preveiw Night, onward to Day 2!
