Kudos to the team for digging up the best SDCC news you might have otherwise missed. Today’s UTT is so hot it’s gone nuclear, with news of a Sleepy Hollow event, Loot Crate at Geek & Sundry with special crates, a prototype Boba Fett, the first of Acme Archive’s exclusives for this year, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. comic, a gorgeous Dredd lithograph and tons of exclusives, artist appearances and more.

And don’t forget to check our Offsite Event calendar, presented by Eventbrite. New events added daily. Like the return of Geek & Sundry to Jolt’n Joe’s for two days packed with events and sponsors.

Here’s the news you might have missed:

  • Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn won’t be able to appear at Comic-Con this year, as he’ll be in Singapore promoting the upcoming Marvel Studios film. So says a tweet from the director himself. Queue The Price is Right music.
