San Diego, CA – July 9, 2025 — Award-winning fantasy author S.G. Blaise, creator of The Last Lumenian series, returns to San Diego Comic-Con 2025 with her most ambitious slate of activations yet.

The new animated feature Hollow Healer expands Blaise’s acclaimed Seven Galaxies universe with powerful visuals, dynamic new characters, and a deepened mythology that begins a bold new chapter.
