- Comicraft
- ComicMix
- Dark Horse Comics
- Fantagraphics
- Ghost Machine
- IDW
- Image Comics

“We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Kindle for SDCC 2025,” said Jeff DiBartolomeo, GM and CTO of Comixology, in a statement. “We’re excited for fans to join us and our many publishing partners in our first-ever in-person scavenger hunt. The Comixology x Kindle Colorsoft Scavenger Hunt is a celebration of comics, of reading, and the massive, diverse library of comics – from classics to today’s newest releases – available through more than 150 publishers on Comixology and Kindle.”
The Comixology booth (#1935) will also have plenty to keep attendees busy, including a giant gumball machine whose prizes include exclusive enamel pins and more chances to win Kindle Colorsoft devices. The booth will also feature Kindle demo stations, creator signings, and live drawing sessions featuring artists like Michael Avon Oeming and Tula Lotay. In addition, Comixology is hosting no fewer than seven panels at SDCC, with panelists including Thomas Jane, Taki Soma, Marc Bernardin, Tula Lotay, Paul Cornell, and Scott Snyder.
San Diego Comic-Con 2025 runs from Thursday, July 24 through Sunday, July 27. You can check out the list of panels for more on what to expect from this year’s show.
