HBO Max Returns To San Diego With Fan Experiences For LANTERNS And STUART FAILS TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE

HBO Max returns to San Diego this summer with a lineup of experiential activations, screenings, and talent panels celebrating new and returning series, including STUART FAILS TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE, from Warner Bros. Television (debuts July 23) and LANTERNS, from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television (debuts August 16). Additionally, fans of HBO Original series HOUSE OF THE DRAGON will have the opportunity to attend a special advance screening of episode 6 of the third season.

Kicking off on Thursday, July 23, Max Original comedy series STUART FAILS TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE will invite fans to discover their hero archetypes through a playful, interactive activation set inside Stuart’s “The Comic Center of Pasadena.” By bringing the beloved comic shop fans know and love from THE BIG BANG THEORY, the experience unfolds as a narrative-driven journey through multiple realities, guiding fans through character-driven decisions that offer a deeper introduction to the new series’ humor, heart, and multiversal chaos.

HBO Max Peacemaker's Peacefest Immersive Fan Experience at SDCC Recap

One of the best offsites this year was Peacefest. What is Peacefest? Inspired by the show’s chaotic, glam rock–fueled world, the immersive event will feature live musical performances, interactive character-themed booths and games, including Harcourt’s KO Corner Bar, Vigilante’s Hero S* Merch Shop, Adebayo’s Hero Test Photo Booth, and Economos’ Ops Mortal Kombat station, along with exclusive giveaways and larger-than-life photo opportunities.   

The reservation system for this offsite before comic con didn't go very well as the website kept crashing but we can overlook that because the pain and suffering of wasting a day trying to get a reservation paid off big time. Once we arrived for our time slot, we were given a Peacefest bandana and a Peacemaker mask. We had unlimited drinks and got to see some of the Peacemaker props from the show as well as purchase exclusive Peacemaker merch. Upstairs was the bar and an area to play video games featuring none other than Peacemaker himself battling it out with anyone else from other shows or games. We got treated to a concert featuring a live band playing 80's Hair Metal music such as Guns 'n Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle", Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" to Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer". The live concert lasted about 20 minutes with the whole experience lasting over 30+ minutes.
