BURBANK, Calif.

Badged Comic-Con members can begin lining up as soon as the Sails Pavilion area opens to attendees. The ticket drawings will begin at 8:00 a.m. or shortly thereafter.

All of the drawings for all signings will now take place in one line on the morning of the signing

Advisory to fans and attendees: Lines will likely be much longer this year, and we appreciate your patience and understanding

“We look forward to Warner Bros.’ participation again at Comic-Con,” said David Glanzer, director of marketing and public relations for Comic-Con International. “The line-up of shows and talent is something we and the fans look forward to each year, and this year’s schedule seems to be the best yet!”

Here’s how it works:

Fans identify the signing they want to attend

On the morning of the day of the signing they hope to attend, fans should arrive at the Sails Pavilion floor (between Ballroom 20 and Rooms 6A, 6BCF and 6DE) in the morning

A limited number of wristbands will be available for each signing, via Comic-Con’s random draw process

There will be one line for all drawings and signings. We appreciate your patience!

The random drawing will determine which fans receive wristbands granting access to each autograph line

Fans who obtain wristbands should arrive at the Warner Bros. booth 30 minutes before the signing to line up

See below for the current signing dates for TV and digital series. The feature film signings will be announced at a later date.

Dark Horse Deluxe To Release Good Luck Trolls Late July & SDCC Exclusive Announced

DARK HORSE DELUXE SET TO RELEASE

THE FIRST GOOD LUCK TROLLS ASSORTMENT

ON JULY 25!

MILWAUKIE, OR, JUNE 28–One of the greatest toy phenomena of all time has been Good Luck Trolls, originally created in 1959 by Danish fisherman and woodcutter Thomas Dam. At various times since the early 1960s these charming little dolls have been a top-selling toy, building a seldom-achieved brand equity and strong consumer response. After disappearing from the market for many years, Good Luck Trolls are set to return this year with a modern twist on their timeless charm.

Good Luck Trolls “mystery box” assortments are a new collectibles merchandise program by Dark Horse Comics under a license granted by Dam Things, who hold all rights to the works of Thomas Dam. The mystery box is being introduced to the market with an on-sale date of July 25.

Dark Horse sees Good Luck Trolls as a natural for the company’s designer vinyl line of toys, and has created variations of color and design to pique the interest of customers. The first collection offers up fifteen different versions of the figures in various colors and with unique surface treatments, including metallic, flocked, black-light sensitive, glitter, and glow-in-the-dark.

Dark Horse’s VP of Product Development, David Scroggy, notes, “When we considered developing Trolls for the first time, we were confident that they would resonate with our audience of pop culture fans and modern collectors. We have a good sense of our customers’ tastes, and are not afraid to commit to an under-the-radar property if we think that it is likely to be embraced by our young adult consumers.”

Mystery box (also known as “blind box”) trading figures are essentially the same product, varying in decoration and materials, and sold randomly out of sealed packages. Some of the figures are common to every counter display, whereas “chase” figures are much harder to come by. The ratio of availability is printed on each package, so the consumer knows the relative scarcity of the figure purchased.

Dark Horse has varied the hair color within the most common figures, so that there will be more variety and more fun for the collector. For example, half of the yellow-body figures in a 2/15 ratio will have blue hair; the others will have pink hair.

The Good Luck Trolls are presented in a counter display unit holding fifteen individual blind boxes. Each Troll is packaged in an opaque foil bag inside its box to prevent tampering or viewing prior to purchase.

Dark Horse has also created a one-time limited edition of 1,500 green-body Good Luck Trolls with snow-white hair that are sensitive to black light. They will be sold exclusively at the Dark Horse booth at Comic-Con International in San Diego, July 12–15, 2012.

About “The Walking Dead”

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, “The Walking Dead” tells the story of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse, and follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), who travel in search of a safe and secure home.  “The Walking Dead” reigns as the most watched drama series on basic cable for Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54. The series has garnered an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Prosthetic Make-up and a Golden Globe® Award nomination for Best Television Series – Drama, among other accolades. 

About “Breaking Bad”

The explosive drama series that Variety calls "simply one of TV's great addictions," returns to AMC for the first part of its final season on Sunday, July 15 at 10pm ET/PT.  The final season of the Emmy^® Award-winning drama consists of 16 episodes, with the first eight episodes beginning July 15 and culminating with the series’ final eight episodes next summer 2013. Created by acclaimed writer, producer, and director Vince Gilligan and produced by Sony Pictures Television, the critically acclaimed series has garnered six Primetime Emmy^® Award wins and a Peabody, and been named to the American Film Institute’s (AFI) list of the “Top 10 Programs of the Year” (2008, 2010, 2011). In the highly anticipated new season, a newly empowered and increasingly remorseless Walt White (Bryan Cranston) finds himself attempting to control a tenuous empire.  But uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.

About “Comic Book Men”

Executive produced by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy), Charlie Corwin’s Original Media (LA Ink, Storm Chasers, Swamp People) and Elyse Seiden (Red State), “Comic Book Men” dives deep into fanboy culture by following the antics in and around master fanboy Smith’s New Jersey comic shop, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, where both staff and customers geek out over mind-blowing pop culture artifacts and the legends behind them. Leading the crew behind the Secret Stash counter are moody manager Walt, uber-nerd Mike, career slacker Brian, and Ming, the shop’s go-to whipping boy. As the team buys, sells and discovers the treasures of the comic collecting world, they share all the juicy details with Kevin through their outrageous podcast, which is woven throughout the series.

for the iPad, coming to iPhone and iPod Touch in July

Get behind the scenes of this unparalleled reading experience
 at the San Diego Comic-Con panel
“Reinventing the Graphic Novel for the iPad,”
Sunday, 12 noon to 1 pm, Room 24ABC

San Francisco, CA (June 28, 2012)—Cognito Comics today announced their innovative digital graphic novel, CIA: Operation Ajax, will be coming to a new platform, the iPhone and the iPod Touch, in July. After debuting on the iPad a year ago, CIA: Operation Ajax has received much acclaim and recognition for its revolutionary approach to digital comics. Creative director and founder of Cognito Comics, Daniel Burwen, pioneered a richer method of storytelling by combining digital tools with the legacy of the printed page. The result is an unparalleled, interactive experience for the reader in the burgeoning tablet age.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Burwen will host an in-depth discussion of graphic novels in the digital space and the inspiration for CIA: Operation Ajax in his panel “Reinventing the Graphic Novel for the iPad,” on Sunday, July 15th from 12 noon to 1 pm in room 24ABC. Prior to San Diego Comic-Con, Burwen hosted a very successful SXSW panel on the same topic in March; watch the video here and get more information is available here.

Winner of the FWA Mobile of the Day Award on January 26, 2012, CIA: Operation Ajax was also recognized as an honoree at the 16th Annual Webby Awards, and was runner up for both the 2011 Best App Ever Awards and the 2012 CES Mobile Apps Showdown.  This year, Flurry App Spotlight Awards also chose CIA: Operation Ajax as a finalist.

“We’re very excited to talk about the new era of interactive graphic novels with the San Diego Comic-Con audience,” said Burwen. “Ajax offers a brand new experience for fans of comics, books and history, and we’re looking forward to making its iPhone debut at a comics convention.”

Working closely with Stephen Kinzer, national bestselling author of All the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and The Roots of Middle East Terror, CIA: Operation Ajax brings to life the 1953 Iranian coup d’etat, where the CIA and British government plotted to stage a revolution against Iran’s Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadegh. Combining subtle animation with a full film-quality score, this 210-page true to life story unfolds in a groundbreaking cinematic reading experience.

Added Burwen: “Operation Ajax has done exceptionally well on the iPad, and we’re looking forward to launching it on the small screen, offering it to a huge new audience through the iPhone and iPod Touch.”

Packed with additional content, CIA: Operation Ajax also includes authentic declassified documents, twenty-two character dossiers, historical photos, and nine news reels from the era embedded right into the story.  Starting today, fans will be able to enjoy this revolutionary graphic novel and interact with Eisenhower, Churchill, the Dulles brothers, Mossadegh, and the Shah right in their pocket.
