Here at the UBlog, we\u2019re big fans of artist Alex Pardee and his wonderfully weird world of \u201cBrightmares\u201d. His pieces are always delightfully unsettling, but in ways that tend to make you smile. You can creep your way over to Booth #5502, where he\u2019s got a new collection of prints, toys, comics, and more.<\/p>\n

But for the most part, below are just teasers. If you\u2019d like to witness the full horror and glory of his SDCC 2026 offerings, you\u2019ll have to do so in person, not at a computer screen\u2026<\/p>\n

First, though, let\u2019s start with what we can show you. Making their SDCC debut are Pardee\u2019s new \u201cI LOVE\u201d vinyl toys, featuring three completely sincere (sure) declarations about the ways in which we find joy in the grueling, soul-sucking minutiae of daily life.<\/p>\n

I LOVE MY JOB<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I LOVE MY LIFE<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I LOVE MONDAYS<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Horror fans will also want to make a stop for Pardee\u2019s new SDCC exclusive variant cover for Something Is Killing the Children #49. The cover will be available at the BOOM! Studios Booth #2229 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday while supplies last, and Pardee will be signing there on Thursday from 4pm\u20134:45pm and Saturday from 1pm\u20131:45pm.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not the only version to keep an eye out for. Pardee has also created his own alternate \u201cBloody\u201d variant, featuring a recolored take on the cover. You\u2019ll likely find a very limited number at his own Booth #5502 during the convention, before it heads to his online shop after the con.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Jimothy. Everyone\u2019s favorite internet raccoon is represented this year (we do love our mostly-annual Alex Pardee takes on weird pop culture of the moment!). You can pick up this adorable new 4\u2033x4\u2033 art print of the most beautiful mutant trash panda we\u2019ve ever seen at his booth.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And what of the rest of Pardee\u2019s offerings? Well, there are plenty of additional surprises are still waiting in the wings, but you\u2019ll have to view them for yourself at Booth #5502. Just know, as always with Pardee, to expect the unexpected.<\/p>\n

For now, here\u2019s a small tease:<\/p>\n
