In addition to the Chicago Con exclusives, Aspen will be bringing along exclusives from this past week’s San Diego Comic Con International for Chicago fans to be able to pick up including Dellec #1 and Executive Assistant: Iris #2, as well as a small stock of the much sought after Michael Turner Fathom and Soulfire hard-bound sketchbooks.

The Aspen Comics Panel on Friday from 5-6pm in the Mike Wieringo Room will showcase Aspen’s upcoming titles including the new properties Mindfield and The Scourge, and more. The entire Aspen Comics team will be on hand at the panel to also discuss Aspen’s latest Hollywood developments concerning the recently announced Soulfire feature film and will update fans on the Fathom feature film currently on the horizon. The Aspen crew will also answer fans questions in a very intimate Q&A sessions Aspen fans will not want to miss. All panel attendees will also receive a special Dellec #1 Panel Exclusive cover available only at Aspen Comics panels this convention season.
