Available for SDCC fans, DSTLRY will debut its collectible art toy, Mominu, and offer a limited quantity for purchase ($100) at the booth. Designed by legendary artist and DSTLRY Founding Creator Junko Mizuno, the first take on the 5-inch collectible art toy is inspired by The Devil’s Cut and features a red panda holding the publisher’s iconic letter “D” monogram. Future releases will see Mizuno and other DSTLRY artists designing additional Mominu colorways.
DSTLRY will also offer a $200 premium bundle, featuring both convention variants of The Devil’s Cut and an ultra-rare 1-in-5 Mominu “The Bollocks” color variant.

- DSTLRY Presents: The Scott Snyder and Jock Spotlight
Friday, July 21 | 2:30–3:30 PM | Room 24ABC
In the course of a decade, Scott Snyder and Jock have single-handedly resculpted comics’ greatest mythological foundations, beginning with their provocative, character-defining run on Detective Comics. The pair has since conjured some of the most horrifying and enchanting new worlds in sequential art through their collaboration on Wytches as well as their myriad other projects. Now, both pioneers enter a new era as Founding Creators at DSTLRY, a publisher ushering in the next era of creator-owned comics. Get an exclusive first look at both of their projects in this can’t-miss panel. - DSTLRY Presents: Drinking from The Devil’s Cut Saturday, July 22 | 1:30–2:30 PM | Room 24ABC The Devil’s Cut is your introduction to DSTLRY, a new publisher redefining creator-owned comics. In the aging process, the whiskey that evaporates is called the Angel’s Share. But the most potent spirits are captured in the wood—the Devil’s Cut. Available at the convention in two convention-exclusive covers, The Devil’s Cut overflows with unfiltered stories from the most fearless creators, offering a distinct taste of the quality to come. Join a murderer’s row of the book’s contributors including Tula Lotay, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Jock, Marc Bernardin, Joëlle Jones, Ariela Kristantina, Mirka Andolfo, Becky Cloonan, and Ram V alongside DSTLRY Founding Editor Will Dennis as they provide an exclusive preview of the first stories behind the creator-owned revolution.
