TwoMorrows Publishing at Comic-Con
TwoMorrows Publishing is the best of the best in fandom publications, publishing magazines that put Wizard to shame back when that was saying something, including Jack Kirby Collector, Back Issue, Alter Ego, and BrickJournal. They also publish books about comics, including the Modern Masters series.
I'm a huge fan of TwoMorrows, and I strongly recommend you check out their wares at San Diego Comic-Con; you can't miss 'em, they'll be the ones with the life-size Minifig Stormtrooper in front of their booth.
Here are the details, via TwoMorrows:
TwoMorrows Publishing returns to Comic-Con International: San Diego
for our 16th consecutive year, at booth #1301 (our usual spot, right
up front beside the Golden & Silver Age Pavilion, just inside the
doors for Hall B). Be sure to stop by and see the “super” surprise
LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya is creating for our booth, and bring your
kids to meet our life-size Minifig Storm Trooper, appearing daily!

We'll also have DVD and Blu-ray copies of the Harvey Award-nominated

Most everything at our booth will be on sale, including $10 Modern
Masters books, plus almost every book and magazine at 40% off! Last
