This year’s San Diego Comic Con International will be the launch site for Aspen MLT’s largest collection of convention exclusives and exciting announcements to date. To help fans and Comic Con attendees keep up on the studio’s huge assortment of events and products for the show, the publisher has provided an Aspen Comics SDCC 2012 Checklist featuring their entire weekend plans, exclusives and innovative new merchandise available only at the Aspen Comics Booth (#2321).

For the first time ever, Aspen will be offering highly-limited, hand-numbered, exclusive books on a per-daily basis throughout each of the five show days.
