DC UNVEILS LINEUP FOR SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON AND BUILDS CAMPAIGN TOWARD DC COMICS 100TH ANNIVERSARY

DC today announced its fan activations at Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC), centered around its multi-level DC Booth (#4544) on the convention show floor from Wednesday, July 23, through Sunday, July 27. Join DC at SDCC, where DC begins a decade-long celebration of comics, culminating in 100 years of publishing the World’s Greatest DC Super Heroes!

This year, the DC Booth will have a new, yet familiar, look. In 2025, DC enters the final decade of its first 100 years. With reverence for the past and an embrace of the future, DC plans to celebrate every era of its storied history annually in 10-year increments, starting at the beginning: 1935-1945. The 2025 DC Booth will feature art and experiences from this first decade of publication. This nascent age was a time of unprecedented creation and saw the birth of not only DC, but of the comic book art form with DC’s New Fun #1, Super Heroes, and the DC Trinity: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

The immersive experience being created at the DC Booth is more than a nostalgic nod to the past, it’s a celebration of where it all began. Stop by the DC newsstand for a free 1940s-style Daily Planet newspaper, complete with classic DC Comics ads, pulled direct from DC’s comic book archives, that once promoted the heroes and adventures of their time! SDCC’s Daily Planet exclusive also delivers first looks at some of DC’s most anticipated titles releasing this year, as well as DC’s panel schedule and events offered during San Diego Comic-Con 2025.

SDCC provides the perfect platform for DC to connect with fans, showcase exciting content, and celebrate the power of DC storytelling. This year, DC is collaborating with DC Worlds Collide, Progressive, Milk-Bone®, and Fortniteto offer limited edition SDCC convention exclusives in the DC Booth. Whether you’re looking for the most binge-worthy comics and TV shows, the toys and collectibles that you absolutely must have, breaking news from all over the DC universe, or to just check out the most amazing cosplay on the planet, you’ll find it where DC and SDCC come together for their fans—and you might meet a heroic furry friend when nonprofit organization Guide Dogs of America’s “Tender Loving Canines” program hosts a meet-and-greet with a legion of caped canines in the DC Booth!
