Ahhh…San Diego Comic Con. The time of year when people come out of the woodwork and hot-foot it over to the west coast and catch the very latest and greatest in comic book culture. Actually, despite the name, San Diego Comic Con has grown from its comic origins, and has come to include news and announcements pertaining to nearly every aspect of pop culture, from movies, to television to toys and games.
Given all of the news that becomes available for these 5 days every summer, one of the biggest draws to SDCC are the exclusives. Publishers and manufacturers create variants of everything and anything they can in an effort to promote their business and stand-out among the hundreds of other publishers and manufacturers doing the same.
