Update April 21, 2020: In light of the cancellation of International Comic-Con San Diego this year, PopMinded by Hallmark is exploring other avenues of virtual convention participation where our 2020 event exclusives can be made available to fans. We will also continue to offer these exclusives at other conventions later this year (Emerald City Comic Con, Planet Comic Con and New York Comic Con).
