I just had my most extreme geek-out this week so far. Just a few minutes ago, a trio of cosplayers came by as characters from a very exciting manga that Del Rey will be publishing next year. I was literally jumping for joy. We’ll be announcing just which manga it is later today, after we make the first public announcement at our panel. Stay tuned for that and more new license announcements.

We miss you at the Con! And because we want you to get in on the action, we’re giving ten lucky fans our SDCC swag!
