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.

LOS ANGELES – June 26, 2019 – Amazon Prime Video today announced plans for San Diego Comic-Con 2019, complete with parties, panels and out-of-this-world experiences for fans of their favorite Amazon Original series, including The Boys, Carnival Row, The Expanse, The Man in the High Castle and Undone.
THE AMAZON PRIME VIDEO EXPERIENCE
The Amazon Prime Video Experience will celebrate the new Amazon Original series The Boys and Carnival Row, as well as the upcoming fourth season of The Expanse, with an immersive 60,000 square-foot activation located across from the San Diego Convention Center. The Amazon Prime Video Experience will be open from Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21, with a special preview day open to press on Wednesday, July 17.
Located on the corner of MLK and 1st, fanboys and fangirls will be drawn in to the Amazon Prime Video Experience by the sight of a 40-foot tower adorned with giant LED screens that will be playing scenes from The Boys, Carnival Row and The Expanse. Comic-Con attendees will also be treated to live, show-specific performances taking place atop the multi-level tower.
Once inside, attendees will receive collectible gold and silver coins which they can use to further explore the activation. Fans can begin their day covering up the crime scene of a superhero kidnapping at the Audio Visual shop where Hughie works on The Boys. On the opposite end of the space, a Rocinante spaceship is positioned that will take adventure-seekers on a United Nations peacekeeping mission to a newly colonized planet seen in The Expanse. Guests can also discover the Carnival Row universe in which humans and exotic creatures coexist before entering The Forbidden Lounge, a neo-Victorian decorated hideaway venue, to enjoy a special performance. Amazon Prime Video collaborated with LG within the series activations to provide a premiere viewing experience for attendees.
After exploring the shows, guests can escape the summer heat and relax under a tented awning with refreshing beverages and a selection of mouthwatering bites, including Carl’s Jr., which will provide burgers on-site for press and fans as part of The Boys campaign. Cosplayers can even find a Cosplay Photography Corner within the walls of the Amazon Prime Video Experience, where a lifestyle photographer will be onsite to take professional portraits as digital takeaways.
