Recent years have seen DC scale back their presence at San Diego Comic-Con. This has largely been due to the company’s reorganization following the Warner Bros. Discovery merger. However, the publisher is returning in a big way for San Diego Comic-Con 2024, with multiple panels tied to the company’s comics, television series, and films.
The centerpiece of DC’s expanded presence at SDCC 2024 will be a multi-level booth. Located at lot #4545, the booth will host signings for multiple comic creators, including DC President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee. The booth will also host an extensive store, with convention exclusive items from McFarlane Toys, Meta and Candy.
