Fans can get an early look at upcoming releases, pick up exclusive editions of Evermind, Cyber League Baseball: The Naturals, and NEWMEN, participate in a convention-wide “Collectible Card Chase”, and unlock an exclusive comic available only through the SDCC experience!
Here's a closer look at the exclusives, collectibles, and special offerings available during San Diego Comic-Con 2026:
SPACEBALLS: THE NEW SYNOPSIS
Somehow, Dark Helmet has returned! Forty years after the events of the first Spaceballs, fifty years after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, and one year after the events of The Devil Wears Prada 2, the galaxy is once again under threat. A threat so evil, so unstoppable, so completely lacking in any original ideas, that it has vowed to bring back the past... every last bit of it.
After expanding its comics and graphic novel publishing footprint through a partnership with Massive Publishing and launching a creative solutions division with award-winning writer, producer, and development strategist Rylend Grant, Managing Partner of The Shoshin Creative Lab, White Cat Entertainment arrives at SDCC with creator appearances, convention programming, new releases, and the launch of the Alpha Cat #2 Kickstarter campaign, which has been labeled a "Project We Love"!
The publisher arrives with one of its strongest years of industry recognition to date, earning six nominations across the 2026 Eisner Awards, with Temporal nominated for Best New Series, with Stephanie Williams also recognized for Best Writer, while Francesco Francavilla (Dick Tracy) nominated for Best Cover Artist, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Our Soot-Stained Heart) nominated for Best Lettering. Rising talents Stipan Morian (Our Soot-Stained Heart) and Toril Orlesky (Hotblood!) are also nominees for the Russ Manning Promising Newcomer Award.
The excitement kicks off during Preview Night on Wednesday, July 22, when Jada's SDCC-exclusive collectibles go on sale at Booth #4049. Fans who can't make it to the convention can shop the exclusives online through Jada Next Level beginning Thursday, July 23 at 10:00 a.m. PT.

After a recent series of shark encounters off the Korean Peninsula, actor and comedian Ken Jeong joins forces with GRAMMY®-nominated singer and lifetime shark lover REI AMI on a mission to reshape the perception of sharks across East Asia and around the globe, fueled by the power of K-POP.
Known for transforming iconic pop culture characters into premium vinyl collectibles that resemble hand-knit toys, Handmade by Robots has become a fan favorite for its distinctive blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and collectible appeal.
Thousands of fans packed the arena for an advance screening of Episode 1 and the debut of an all-new trailer, offering an expanded look at the climactic conclusion to Tite Kubo's legendary saga.
The celebration featured special appearances from Masakazu Morita, the Japanese voice of Ichigo Kurosaki, and Johnny Yong Bosch, the English voice of Ichigo, who shared behind-the-scenes stories from voicing one of anime's most enduring heroes.
Chester Cheeks is not your average toy. He is jiggly, hilarious, full of attitude, and ready to become the coolest butt ever. With every squeeze, Chester delivers laugh-out-loud reactions kids cannot stop playing with. The more you squeeze him, the more he farts. Stop squeezing, and he stops farting. It is simple, silly, and instantly addictive.
