San Diego COMIC CON International Preview Night Begins Tonight

Jeri Jacquin

We are here…again…for San Diego ComicCon International 2019 and it is even more spectacular as this year celebrates the 50^th ComicCon with everything we love about it.

Preview Night is just the beginning and there is so much to see. I personally have to make my way to Funko because if I don’t get an IT Funko then I might have to throw myself down on the floor and throw a fit. Just kidding (maybe not)!

Of course DC and Warner Brothers will be there to give out a little swag for those brave enough to handle the crowds who also want their swag. Marvel and Star Wars are also big places to visit and see what goodies have been brought along with the amazing set ups.

Netflix is here this year and with all the fantastic programming they have you can be sure they will add to the very cool bags that are being offered this year to attendees. Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, FX, Hulu, ABC, Nickelodeon, WETA, STARZ and BBC America top off returnees with looks at their new shows coming.

For fans of all things comics, the author and artist section is going to need some time so wear comfy shoes. There is so much these talented people have to offer that it is worth taking the time to chat and share with them about their work.

Companies such as Hasbro, Konami, CAPCOM and others return to bring the characters and products that people will stand in line for. This is serious business for many of the attendees as much of the items are limited to Comic Con so make sure you are prepared.

But that isn’t all that happens on Preview Night! In Ballroom 20 there is a World Premier Screening of Batwoman and the new series Pennyworth along with a Sneak Peek Screening of The 100 and Rooster Teeth.

In the Central Library Downtown in the Shirley Event Suite 9^th Floor there is a Teaching with Comics: An Interactive Workshop for Educators. At the Marriott Grand Ballroom 4, there is the Anime of Hozuki’s Coolheadedness, Outlaw Star, ARGEVOLLEN, Twin Star Exorcist, Dimension W, The Dirty Pair OVA, The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye, Rocket Girls, Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2 Wei, Spice and Wolf and Armored Trooper VOTOMS being shown.

There are also Games at the Convention Center Mezzanine from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

The Films being shown at the Marriott Grand Room 5 are THE ADVETNURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL, CAPTAIN MARVEL, SHAZAM! And THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL.

Let’s not forget that outside, all around the convention center there are so many events happening that don’t even require a Comic Con badge. It is a fantastic way for people to be able to experience a bit of everything and have a little family fun.

That’s what has made San Diego Comic Con International so amazing over the years. Spilling over into the community and bringing an almost carnival like atmosphere to the city means everyone gets to have a good time this summer.

So, I am covering everything that I can to share and trust me when I say it would be wonderful to have an army to cover it all. As I say every year – bring plenty of water, dress accordingly and wear the most comfortable shoes you have. This is a four day event and there isn’t a minute to be wasted.
