DC has announced it will have an expanded presence and lineup at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The comics publisher will have a new booth on the show floor as well as multiple panels, signings and exclusive partnerships.

DC’s new SDCC booth (#4545) will have a larger footprint and be multi-level on the convention’s show floor, running from July 24-28. The publisher also announced collaborations with McFarlane Toys, Meta, and Candy Digital to give fans exclusive collectibles at the DC Booth. McFarlane Toys Digital will host a giveaway for an exclusive limited-edition ‘The Joker Bank Robber’ digital collectible. Meta will have a 20′ lightbox for Batman: Arkham Shadow, a Meta Quest 3 exclusive game releasing later this year. Candy Digital will launch the next chapter in Batman: The Legacy Cowl with a physical-digital comic that fans can collect for free while supplies last, along with other giveaways and freebies.

DC also unveiled a variety of DC Shop Exclusives, including the first official merchandise from James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman film and the upcoming animated series Creature Commandos. DC’s new expanded booth will also have limited printings of special edition foil covers for Absolute Power #1, All-Star Superman #1, Batman #150, a special McFarlane Toys Action Figure Variant of Batman Beyond #1, a new Creature Commandos #1 variant cover, a special edition foil cover SDCC 2024 Exclusive Absolute Batman Ashcan, a facsimile edition of Detective Comics #27 with a movie homage cover, and convention-exclusive graphic novels with metal covers for Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, Batman Vol. 1: Failsafe (with a movie homage cover), Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Outlaw, and an oversized pencil-and-ink flip-book variant of Batman: Hush #1 and more.
