Under The Tents: Scion SDCC Contest, NECA, Molly Quinn, John Romita Jr., 2000AD, Dynamite

The team might be busy preparing for this week’s WonderCon, but that doesn’t mean we’re not continually hunting for news on this July’s San Diego Comic-Con. This week we have tons of news – including a new SDCC contest, artist and writer appearances, a new Behemoth game for the Xbox One, more exclusives and Molly Quinn! Please let it be a Castle panel…please!

And if you’re going to be in Anaheim next weekend, be sure to stop by our First Annual WonderCon Meetup Presented by Warner Archive. You’ll be glad you did!

With that said, here’s the stuff you might have missed:

  • Author of the popular series Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Laini Taylor, has revealed through her website events page that she will be attending the con in July.  Her schedule is still to be announced.
  • In answer to a fan’s question regarding SDCC exclusives, NECA revealed via its Twitter account that the company will be bringing a Pacific Rim exclusive.  No word yet on whether it will be a Jaeger or Kaiju, but we will update when he have more information.

  • Looney Labs, a card and board game manufacturer, announced on Twitter that it will be at SDCC.

  •  According to IGN, indie video game developer The Behemoth is working on a new Xbox One game. Although details about the project, tentatively titled “Game 4” are scarce, the developer did say we’d be learning more at Comic-Con this summer.
  • Actress Molly Quinn announced on Twitter that she’ll be attending San Diego Comic-Con this July. Last summer she attended with The Thrilling Adventure Hour for some live theater shows, although it’s also possible that she may finally be returning for a Castle panel.
