San Diego Comic Con is coming whether you’re ready or not. In under a week a bunch of nerds will descend into San Diego’s Gaslamp District for the world’s biggest comic book and all-around popular culture convention. Amazon Prime Video will be joining them.

As is the case year after year, studios are bringing a lot of off-site fun that everyone (even those without a pass) can access. This year, Amazon Prime Video is returning to show off their original series, new and old, through activations and parties all weekend.

While at this point the parties are sold out, it is always worth it to show up the evening of if you’re dying to go to see if they will have a standby line. You might luck out! Otherwise, you can occupy your time with the various activations including Carnival Row and The Boys.

Check out the press release below for all the details. We’ll see you in San Diego.
