With just a little over six weeks (weeks???) until San Diego Comic-Con 2024, we’ve been learning a lot more about what to expect at this year’s con, and we’re happy to share all these wonderful details in this edition of Under the Tents. You just might find your favorite panel among the news below, discover a fandom you didn’t know you wanted to be a part of, or discover that new piece of art that needs to go on your wall. But first, let’s start with some #HotD.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Podcast host Amin Javadi is bringing some #HotD to SDCC this year with his Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon fan panel.

- The power of Comic-Con compels you! IDW Publishing Executive Editor Cassandra Jones invites you to stop by Booth #2729 during the con to snag a preview of IDW’s new title, The Exorcism at 1600 Penn. I didn’t think that was happening until November.
Extremely amped to be a part of this. Keep a lookout for pre-orders and if you're going to SDCC, stop by the IDW table for a preview. 🔥 https://t.co/xDSjI2qnIJ
