Insight Editions is pleased to announce its presence at Comic-Con International 2012 at the San Diego Convention Center, from July 12th to July 15th at booth #1035. For over 17 years, the San Rafael, California-based independent book publisher has produced lavish and visually stimulating books on photography, film, music, and popular culture that have wowed readers with their deft interplay of word and image.

Comic-Con International is an opportunity for Insight to celebrate recent and upcoming titles such as The Dark Knight Manual, Batmobile: The Complete History, The Art of Blizzard, Fringe: September's Notebook, and The Essential Supernatural: On The Road With Sam And Dean Winchester. As a tie in to The Art of Blizzard, special guest artists from Blizzard Entertainment will be on hand to sign Diablo III Book of Cain and posters from Art of Blizzard.

This year Insight will give fans a sneak peak at future titles Pacific Rim, Man of Steel, Spongebob, and showcase special collaborations with writer-director Guillermo del Toro.

The Hobbit Comic-Con Teaser Poster

Those playful scamps. You just know Guillermo del Torro and Peter Jackson were on their cell phones in front of their keyboards going...OK...3...2...1!! Then laughed maniacally as they launched posters for their new films, sending the world of geeks spinning wildly off its axis. Boys, you should never release such awesome at the same time. It throws off the balance of things. Now we'll have 10 more years of Snookie. Thanks lots.

Peter Jackson just dropped The Hobbit Comic-Con poster via his FaceBook page...as that is how the world communicates now and I love it because it drops everything in my lap. FACEBOOK IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER!!! He had this to say...

The Pacific Rim Comic-Con Teaser Poster

The Pacific Rim Facebook page had dropped a major tease, sending us drooling for giant robot action..and when we say GIANT..we mean these bots can crumple up a Decepticon like a tin foil ball.

For those of you who will be attending San Diego Comic-Con this year, be sure to join director Guillermo del Toro and stars Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi and Ron Perlman for a special look at the upcoming film on Saturday, July 14th, in Hall H at 2:30pm: http://bit.ly/LMIUSb. Hope to see you there!
