Top Cow, the LA-based publisher behind such massive hits as WITCHBLADE, SUNSTONE and DEATH TO PACHUCO is heading down the I-5 and bringing the creators creative teams behind such books to San Diego Comic-Con next weekend (San Diego Convention Center, Thurs 24th-Sun 27th July; Preview Night, Weds 23rd July), along with an exciting selection of convention exclusives.
