Comic-Con is still six months away, but it seems like everyone is already working on their plans for the convention. Already we've got a possible first look at a Capcom SDCC exclusive, information on how to secure an autograph table in the Sails Pavilion, more vendor and exhibit floor confirmations, news about Comic-Con's Art Show, a book launch that will take place during the convention, news on a popular voice actor, speculation on the dates for SDCC in 2015, and con news on one of the summer's most anticipates movies -- assuming you're a fan of The Rock.
Here's a look at what you might have missed:
* We've possibly got the first look at a Capcom Comic-Con exclusive for this year. Brett Elston, community manager of Capcom, for new Mega Man and Proto Man statues. When asked whether we'd be seeing them at this year's con, the answer was that it "stands to reason". Sounds like a good bet to us!
Not sure, but it stands to reason!The prototype for Capcom's newest Proto Man, which we may see at SDCC!
* Comic-Con International has recently updated the Autograph Area with contact information for Professionals looking to set up a table in the Autograph Area.The Autograph Area of the Sails Pavilion hosts many of the signings for writers, celebrities and more every year.If you're a professional interested in having a table in the Autograph Area you should consider securing your spot now.

I'll be at , and maybe 2 others this year.
