I like the artwork.  They had flyers for WC at the store and I grabbed one to put on my bulletin board.
What store?

I think you're San Diego, right? Well I'm about same distance the other direction, in the I.E. Will have to check my LCS, but I am just so excited to look over the programming for WonderCon and decide what to see.

Yep. I saw the postcards at San Diego Comics on Monday. Probably made it to the shops up in the IE too.

It's killing me.  I cannot find an image of the Adam Hughes SDCC shirt from '98-'99.

Graphitti Designs has to keep tight lipped on dishing anything on exclusives or shirt colors or anything else until DC gives them the green light. So......... :-X      You get nothing from me, see...(said in my best film noir gangster voice)

Keep watching the exclusives on the WC website.

Just thought I'd have a little round table on this. No judgement just one of those "things that make you go hmmmmm..."

I'm sure most know by now but the 2014 WonderCon Official Shirt Art and Program Book Art is Wonder Woman by Cliff Chiang. Here's the Toucan link ... You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login’s-wonder-ful-wonder-woman-wondercon-art.

Though they have not officially announced it's the shirt art too, they hint at it and it's always been in my WonderCon experience.

I'm a BIG t-shirt fan and have always bought one from every convention I attend. Especially the SDCC and WonderCon. However, I'm a bit on the fence on this one and I think CCI/WonderCon may have taken a huge risk here by having just a solo female heroine on it. I'm no sexist, I have 3 daughters, but I'd venture that WonderCon's attendance is still majority male and the question is would I as a 40 year old male walk around OUTSIDE of a WonderCon or SDCC or similar wearing a Wonder Woman shirt? Would I wear it when I'm coaching, out on the town or playing hoops? Hmmmm...

I'm a guy, with two sons (or at least, one 12 year old son, and one son due to be born this July), and I'm a HS music teacher.  I have always had zero qualms about wearing any sort of pop-culture type of t-shirt, especially ones I've gotten at Comic-Con & WonderCon.  2014 will be my 15th San Diego Comic-Con, so over the year's I've collected a TON of shirts!
I'm not really a Wonder Woman fan, or else I would definitely get the shirt.  To be honest, I'm thinking of getting the shirt anyway just to make a point that women in pop-culture are just as interesting, pertinent, and important as men.  The only other shirt I can think of that I've gotten over the years was one for several years ago I bought at Comic-Con, celebrating Star Wars.  It featured Luke, Han, and Leia.  The problem was Leia was 'Slave Leia,' and after thinking about it I thought it might've come across as a bit demeaning so I never wore it out (teaching HS band, I spend from June-November in marching band, with a myriad of after-school & weekend rehearsals where it's very common for myself & other teachers to dress down a bit).

Just as many of my female students attend Comic-Con and WonderCon than male, and it's important to me as a fellow geek to foster that interest and excitement.  I might buy this shirt to spark conversation with the students.  Or I might not: I'm not a huge fan of the shirt design (regardless of the comic character on it), and as a teacher with a kid on the way it's hard to justify buying anything Im not really into.  But I might get it out of principal anyway.

Well said. I don't ever buy shirts at Cons because I hate the idea of one more line, but I'll buy this one.

Wow perc2100! That was like point-counterpoint back and forth like 4 times!

Reminded me of that commercial with James earl Jones and Malcolm Mcdowell talking about if they will be going out or not.

At about the 40 second mark--
