Amazing Arizona Con Details!
Hi All,
I cannot express how excited I am to go to Mesa this week for the Amazing Arizona Con. Last year, I went out to help Robert with all the whirlwind activities he had planned for the convention’s debut. While we shared some great memories with some of the best talent in the industry, my fondest moments were with the Skybound greats Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley, along with our Walking Dead TV series stars, Steven Yeun and Jon Bernthal. Good times!
This year, Skybound is attending full force, and we’ve got some fun stuff planned for you. We’ll be unveiling a WALKING DEAD BABY ONESIE, and have copies of the super fine/ super rare RISE OF THE GOVERNOR SLIPCASE EDITION on hand, as well as the assortment of our usual Skybound exclusive merch and books.
We’re booth 130, please stop by and say hi, and read below for a schedule of Robert’s panels and signings!
