Under the Tents: Mashable House, American Gods, Naomi Kyle, The Goon, Patrick Ballesteros

It’s been the busiest week so far in the world of Comic-Con news – with news about Nerd HQ’s 2015 plans, including our interview with Zachary Levi and David Coleman, word of Hannibal‘s return, Doctor Who‘s switch to a Thursday Hall H panel, and much more. But we aren’t finished yet, and today, we’ve got updates on Mashable, American Gods, IGN’s Naomi Kyle, and much more.

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

  • Ken Taya, the artist behind Enfu, posted on their Facebook that he is working on food themed art prints for SDCC 2015. This ramen one looks good enough to eat.

  • IGN’s web host Naomi Kyle will be headed back to Comic-Con this year for “free autographs & pics”, according to Twitter, with more details being announced soon.

  • Den of Geek recently interviewed Bryan Fuller about Hannibal (which is now officially returning to SDCC this year), and they got a little extra information about his and Michael Green’s adaption of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. The series hasn’t been officially picked up, but when it is, Fuller revealed that Gaiman wants to do a full cast reveal at a Comic-Con. The series, if it’s picked up at all, won’t be coming out until likely late 2016 – so any announcement might not even be for this year. Here’s the full quote from the article:

Neil [Gaiman’s] plan—and Neil’s very internet savvy—what Neil would like to do is cast Laura and Shadow and Wednesday and Mad Sweeney and Bilquis, because Bilquis will be a major character in the show, and the Technical Boy and then trot them all out on-stage at a Comic-Con coming up. That’s his plan. He’s saying “I don’t want to make any casting announcements, I want to announce the cast in full when they walk out on stage at a Comic-Con.”
