San Diego Comic-Con 2026 - We're Back With Two New Movies
Before we jump into our two movie releases in August, we’re heading back to San Diego Comic-Con 2026 with a fun week of exclusives, signings, and parties. Whether you’re coming for a day or for the whole weekend, you’ll find all the info you need right here!
A quick note: our booth activities and the screening are inside Comic-Con and need a badge, but the Chuck Jones Gallery meetup and the after-parties are open to everyone — no badge required.
WEDNESDAY 7/22 – Preview Night
Kick things off by visiting Booth #4022 to grab our SDCC Collector's Edition "Virgin" Comic Issues of DEFIANT — only 100 complete sets will be available, so grab your copy before they're gone. (Booth #4022 is on the exhibit floor — badge required.)
8:00–10:00 PM
”The Vault Opens” - Seaport Village
We’ve teamed up with The Chuck Jones Gallery (the creator of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote) for a full week celebrating our favorite Looney Tunes characters, and 100 years of Chuck Jones magic. The gallery throws open 80 years of archives for preview night including the crown jewel of the evening, an original oil painting called Toulouse le Duck valued at $275k. Come to the casual Legion M meetup at The Chuck Jones Gallery — drinks, collectibles, and the whole community under one roof. No badge needed for this one.
Listen to the Chuck Jones Gallery Podcast for a backstage pass preview of “The Vault Opens”.
Then head to the “Ready Party One” at PARQ Nightclub hosted by our friends at XLE. It’s the premiere SDCC kick off afterparty and not one to miss. No badge required. Limited discount tickets available for the Legion M community with promo code LEGIONM, while supplies last.
