SDCC 2010: GCD's Comic-Con Survival Guide So for your own protection, you might want to pack these things if you’re heading off to Cali: List of SDCC Exclusives Going to Comic-Con is great. Rubbing your friends’ faces in the fact that you were there and they weren’t is even better. And the best way to do that is to come back loaded exclusive convention collectibles. Check the full list to make sure you don’t miss anything awesome. Spider-Man backpack With all the merch you’ll pick up, you’ll need something to carry it in. And what could be better than a backpack that looks like you have a webslinger-shaped tumor growing on your back? Captain America Boot Covers There’s a reason superheros chose to fly instead of tromping around all day getting boot-inflicted blisters. Do yourself a favor when you get costumed up: Instead of wearing real boots, wear comfortable shoes with these boot covers over them. Tru Blood Walking all day builds up a mighty thirst, so pack a sixer of Tru Blood. Unlike the drink in the titular HBO show, this beverage isn’t made of synthetic human plasma, although it is made to taste like blood oranges. Same dif. Superman underwear Nothing will power you through the conference like having Superman’s emblem on your junk. Note: Con vets always pack a spare pare in case they see something that gets them so excited they crap themselves. Backup plan If you couldn't get tickets to the sold-out con, don't worry, our friends at The Rundown have put together a list of the coolest unofficial events happening in the area like free Comedy Central live standup and a Star Wars burlesque show. And forget about meeting all those comic icons and movie stars, stop by the Heavy Metal booth and meet the guys from GCD! We’d love to say hi, plus you'll get a free GCD sticker that you can either keep or stick on someone else, someone like one of the Cylons pictured here! Man, your friends back home are gonna be so jealous…

SDCC 2010: SHOWTIME® LAUNCHES "DEXTER GAME ON" AT COMIC-CON Players of Dexter Game On are asked to step into Dexter’s mind to unlock exclusive content from the series' upcoming fifth season and for a chance to pick up DEXTER-themed merchandise, including season four DVDs.

SHOWTIME will hand out over 100,000 lick-'n-stick tattoos during all four days of Comic-Con. Tattoos will be available throughout the convention floor, at the SHOWTIME booth (#4129), and will be distributed by street teams outside the convention center. Fans are encouraged to take pictures of themselves sporting their tattoos at various locations around the convention and upload them to the Dexter Game On site (DexterGameOn.com). At Comic-Con, players will explore San Diego through the check-in-based Dexter-themed Trek on SCVNGR (scvngr.com) – venues will range from the SHOWTIME booth, to an innocent coffee shop nearby, and will culminate in a "crime scene" location to be revealed near the convention center.
