Could Let’s Make a Deal be heading to Comic-Con? What Doctor Who merchandise will attendees get a first glimpse of? We’ve got news on that, as well as artists, exclusives, and more, in today’s edition of Under the Tents.

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

• Science fiction author Kate Elliott revealed on Twitter that she’ll be at Comic-Con on Thursday, July 9, for a ARC giveaway of Court of Fives, as well as an unannounced panel.

Did I mention I'm attending/appearing at SDCC this July, on Thursday? Pretty sure there will be an ARC giveaway of Court of Fives.

@kerrydixon A panel on Thursday on epic fantasy. Probably a signing (an ARC giveaway of Court of Fives)

• On the May 20 episode of Let’s Make a Deal, the game show gave away two four-day badges to San Diego Comic-Con, as well as deluxe accommodations, spending money, and more. Host Wayne Brady also said that he’d be at Comic-Con — so could the game show be looking to do something special at this year’s convention? Maybe Conan won’t be the only popular host doing an episode from San Diego.

• When asked if she’d be at any conventions, illustrator Irene Koh mentioned that she’ll be at SDCC with the Batgirl team.
• Patrick Ballesteros, concept artist and visual developer for the video game, animation, and film industries, posted on his Twitter that he will be bringing 50 Cent Wonders series to SDCC 2015. 50 Center Wonders is a progression of his original series 25 Cent Wonders, which recreates popular scenes from TV shows and movies with the characters kid-ified and on those rides you’d find outside grocery stores from the past. Ballesteroes promises that 50 Cent Wonders “doubles the fun”, and he offered our first glimpse on his Instagram. Ballesteros has also posted more pages from his sketchbook on Instagram.

I am super excited to announce #50centwonders coming to @Comic_Con 2015. Same wonderful kids but double the fun! pic.twitter.com/vsPdd9AyQ9
