San Diego Comic-Con 2012 : Diamond Comics Exclusives

Which is not to be confused with the Diamond Select Toys Exclusives we already posted...as those are MADE by Diamond Select and these...are...not. Easy Peasy.

Attendees are encouraged to drop by the PREVIEWS /Diamond booth (#2401) to view each item and to receive a listing of Diamond retailers that will be selling the items on the show floor.

Adventure Time: Marceline & The Scream Queens #1 : Join fan-favorite characters Marceline and Princess Bubblegum for riot girl rock-fueled excitement in this brand Adventure Time miniseries!

Written and drawn by acclaimed cartoonist Meredith Gran (Octopus Pie) and featuring a back-up story from Jen Wang (Koko Be Good). Limited edition of 2,000 pieces.
