Cartoon Network is planning an epic presence at San Diego Comic-Con this year, with debut panels for the revamped Powerpuff Girls, We Bare Bears and a first-of-its-kind musical panel for Steven Universe. On the convention floor, CN will fly larger-than-life balloons of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup over its Townsville-inspired booth (#3735) — fans can walk away with a custom-printed tee or tote bag using the wildly popular Powerpuff Girls avatar maker, with designs and accessories exclusive to Comic-Con.
Other CCI highlights for CN include the return of Cartoon Network’s Screening and Costume Ball, offering an inside look at hit shows and sneak peeks at new Ben 10 and app-inspired Mighty Magiswords. Adventure Time fans can test their skills at the all-day Card Wars Tournament. Other CN series featured at the Con include Teen Titans Go! and Justice League Action.
Signings this year include Steven Universe (Friday, 3-5:30 p.m.), We Bare Bears (Saturday, 1-2:30 p.m.) and The Powerpuff Girls (Sat., 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.) — all in the SDCC Autograph Area.
