The news was announced recently that Season 13 was coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on August 24th. Featuring Ralph on the cover (with a special alternate 'head box' as usual), the set will also feature the usual amount of great extras and commentaries that we have come to expect from these sets. But, perhaps, more excitingly, TV Squad brings the news that "fans will have the opportunity to score the set a full month earlier at San Diego Comic-Con July 22-25. Fans who purchase these early copies of the season set will also receive a collectible limited edition lithograph as a free gift." No details beyond that are known at this time.

For those attending the San Diego Comic Con next month, here is some additional news of interest... First and foremost, the Simpsons TV show panel will take place in Ballroom 20 on Saturday the 24th between 1:30 – 2:15pm. The time and date of the Bongo Comics panel will announced with the full schedule soon. The SCS will, of course, have its annual meet-up on Friday the 23rd at 6pm. However, we will not be meeting inside the convention center this year. Instead, we will be in the Santa Rosa Room at the Marriott Hotel & Marina right next door. Hope to see you then!
