Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Limited-edition collectables to buy and trade are an essential part of Comic-Con International, the pop culture mega-convention in San Diego, July 22-25. Merchandise from more than 50 different companies this year includes special versions of action figures, toys, art, games, and gear.
For the fourth year, Warner Bros. Entertainment will provide 125,000 official totes to attendees to stuff with loot. The 11 designs feature images from its films and television shows, including Batman: the Brave and the Bold videogame and Clash of the Titans.
Other bags available at the Warner Bros. booth include best-selling DC Comics series Brightest Day, TV's Fringe, Nikita, The Vampire Diaries, and the upcoming The Looney Tunes Show, bringing back Bugs Bunny and friends to The Cartoon Network.
Besides the panels, presentations and film festival, on the exhibition floor many items at booths featured this year cover upcoming films and television shows as well as classics. There are Lots-o-Huggin' Bears from Toy Story 3 scented with strawberry, Ghostbusters goodies, Star Wars and A Clockwork Orange items. Priced from $5 to $105, fans will line up to purchase the limited runs while they last.
Here are some highlights:
Tron: Legacy returns with a strong presence at Comic-Con this year.
