Dexter stars re-up for Comic Con 2009

Dexter’s Michael C. Hall and Julie Benz will make a repeat appearance at Comic Con this year, Showtime insiders say. The pair, who play newlyweds Dexter Morgan and Rita Bennett Morgan, were a huge hit at last year’s event.

When Benz and Hall showed up at Comic Con last July, they took the opportunity to schmooze with fans, as Julie is in this video, and they dropped lots of hints about the upcoming season.

We’re hoping for another stellar appearance from the stars next month in San Diego, with tons of spoilers for Season 4! One thing we know that’s on the agenda: the unveiling of the new Comic Con exclusive Dexter “Dark Defender” action figure, which comes with fake blood.

Season 4 of Dexter drops Sept. 27, only on Showtime.
