Under the Tents: The Loyal Subjects, Vikings, Carrie Henn, Peter Shinkoda, Mondo, Nobu

Didn’t we just have one of these yesterday? And the day before? Well, yes, we did – but there’s still plenty of San Diego Comic-Con news left to share with our readers, including first looks at The Loyal Subject’s SDCC exclusive, word of a Vikings figure headed to the con, autograph and panel news, and even some info on how to score reservations at the popular eatery Nobu.

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

  • Author Mari Naomi revealed on Twitter that she’ll be on a panel at San Diego Comic-Con called Generations of Women in Comics, featuring Trina Robbins, Mary Fleener, and Anina Bennett. The panel date she posted says July 24, 2016 (Friday) — so we’re not sure if the panel is really Sunday, July 24 or Friday, July 22. Either way, it will be at 3:30PM.

  • Occasionally, you might want to eat at Comic-Con (weird, right?). When you do, Nobu is a good option, as it’s both close and delicious. They’ve got instructions for how to make reservations during San Diego Comic-Con on their site.

      , it was never a certainty that she’ll be there to promote

Marvel’s Jessica Jones

      . But now actor Peter Shinkoda, in

responding to a fan about the Netflix series Daredevil

      being at SDCC, said he’ll be there Saturday afternoon. Peter, known for his role as Nobu on

Daredevil

    , doesn’t specify why he will be there though – but it seems just a little more possible.
