Cartoon Network Powers Up San Diego Comic-Con with OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes

Cartoon Network is levelling up this summer with a heroic event at San Diego Comic-Con (July 19-23) with a booth inspired by the world of the upcoming series OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes. Guests can step into a booth mirrored after Gar's Bodega, the workplace of our aspiring heroes K.O. and his friends, and immerse themselves in a setup mimicking the one-stop shop containing everyone's hero needs. A supersized balloon of K.O. WILL suspend high above the can't-miss booth (#3735) where fans can get an unforgettable shopping experience and walk away with a one-of-a-kind blind box containing a premium exclusive to Comic Con.

A panel with OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes creator Ian Jones-Quartey and voice actors WILL precede the return of fan favorite STEVEN UNIVERSE headlined by panelists that include creator Rebecca Sugar, Grammy winner Estelle and more. Cartoon Network's powerful lineup also boasts the premiere panel for Ben 10 and the return of its annual Summertime Go! Screening and Costume CONTEST where fans can attend in their favorite show character costume. Exclusive Comic Con one sheets WILL also be available at the respective signings. Other Cartoon Network series featured at San Diego Comic-Con include Unikitty, TEEN TITANS GO! and Justice League Action.

Steven Universe enthusiasts can also attend the first-ever intimate conversation with Sugar as she discusses the making of the official behind-the-scenes art book, THE ART OF Steven Universe: Art & Origins of the Emmy nominated TV series. Additionally, Cartoon Network has partnered with key licensees to offer Comic-Con fans exclusive items featuring characters from beloved franchises ADVENTURE TIME and STEVEN UNIVERSE as well as the Emmy Award-winning miniseries Over the Garden Wall. Fans can also check out their favorite Cartoon Network characters blown out into several larger-than-life helium globe balloons flanking The New Children's Museum Reflecting Pool during the duration of the convention.

Below is a list of all panels, fan events, screenings, signings and exclusive product offered Thursday, July 20 - Sunday, July 23. Events as well as series producers and talent scheduled to appear are subject to change.
