After a busy weekend filled with signings, meet and greets, and surprise appearances, we’re back home and resting up after our second year at San Diego Comic-Con!
This year, we returned to SDCC bigger than ever, with Mad Cave Studios and Papercutz! We shared a special surprise for Maverick fans with an early preview of our highly anticipated original graphic novel, Confetti Realms, by Nadia Shammas! Jennie Wood stopped by for their signing of the award-winning graphic novel Paper Planes, and some lucky attendees walked away with the Maverick year one box set in their hands, winning our Maverick giveaway!
From busy panels to fun surprises, we had a weekend full of action in San Diego! Check out our official recap below!
