Under the Tents: Z Nation, DKE Exclusive, Screen Junkies, Top Cow, Captain Action, Doctor Who

We are finally in the thick of Comic-Con news, and we couldn’t be happier. We love this time of year (and okay, yes, we kind of wish sometimes that it would slow down too).

Today’s action-packed edition of Under the Tents has news on everything from Z Nation to Screen Junkies to our first look at a DKE exclusive, to much more.

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

  • Prominent street artist, Ryan Callanan, posted on Instagram a picture of his foray into 3D design and a venture with DKE Toys.  The picture is of a limited edition San Diego Comic-Con Andy Warhol themed Stormtrooper figure. Very different, very cool.
