Mondo Announces Comic-Con@Home Panels Featuring New Posters, Apparel, and More
Mondo has announced that they will be participating in San Diego Comic-Con’s virtual event, Comic-Con@Home. They recently shared their panel plans for later this week and during these live panels they will debut some of the collectibles that they’ll be sharing.
The panels will feature conversations with the artists of the posters as they dive into the process of creating their art. There will also be unique concert experiences and sneak peeks at what the company has in store for upcoming toys, collectibles, soundtracks, apparel, and games.
Mondo will have panels and events all throughout the virtual convention from July 23rd through the 26th. Mondo senior creative director Eric Garza said in a statement:
“2020 is hard, and although we can’t all be in San Diego this July getting lost in the pop culture maelstrom that is Comic Con, that doesn’t mean we can’t come together to bring a little madness into your living room, right? This year we’re excited to celebrate one of our favorite weeks of the year from the comfort of your own couch. No lines. No achy feet. No con crud.”
Mondo has previously teased posters for Batman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, X-Men, and more. There are a couple of teaser images below to give us a peek at what Mondo has planned.
All panels, live chats and new items for sale will be available at Mondo’s official Comic-Con page. You can check out the full schedule for Mondo at Comic-Con at Home below.
