News from Comic-Con


Felicia Day at Comic Con

There are a lot of moments that we’d like to highlight from our first two days (and we will do a more in-depth report after the Con is over), but there was one person who visited us to look at the new book who we’re fans of. Check out Felicia Day and the Jackalope!
