Under the Tents: Mondo, Adventure Time, Adam Savage, Aliens, Robert Liefeld, Souvenir Book Cover

San Diego Comic-Con will be here before you know it, and it’s going to become hard to keep up with all of the news. We recommend that if you see something you’re interested in, you start jotting down those booth numbers and event times now.

But first, take a look at today’s edition of Under the Tents, which has news on Adventure Time and Aliens exclusives and collectibles, the new San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Souvenir Book cover artwork, word on appearances from Adam Savage and Robert Liefeld, and much more.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

  • A tweet from Daniel Presedo, CEO of Dramenon Studios LLC and a speaker and proponent of Adobe products, has revealed that the Adobe booth will be returning to San Diego this summer, and asked fans what they’d like to see at the booth.

There’s no word yet on what Savage will be doing at Comic-Con, but traditionally he hosts a panel with friend and Mythbusters co-star Jamie Hyneman, and also co-hosts w00tstock.

You’ll be able to grab up the piece at booth #4331, and though there’s no word yet on pricing, we don’t expect this one to come cheap.

  • The adventures will never end, it’s Adventure Time! Popular toy company Kidrobot has revealed that they’re teaming up with Cartoon Network to produce what look like some very, very cool Adventure Time figures. The collection will feature keychains, a blind box series, and medium figures – and they promise San Diego Comic Con exclusives are also planned for the series.
