Under the Tents: Comic-Con HQ, Martin Hsu, Chris Gugliotti, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

Did you catch all the SDCC news that dropped yesterday and today? We’re still recovering from all that was announced, but that doesn’t mean we’re slacking. News is coming at warp speed, and we’re not dropping to impulse anytime soon. Our latest Under the Tents brings great announcements and a ton of cuteness from Martin Hsu, Hero Initiative, The Geeky Hooker (crochet!), and a lot more. This edition has so much sweetness in it, four out of five dentists will label it as a major cause of tooth decay.

Here’s a look at what you might have missed:

  • If you think Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency won’t be at SDCC this year, think again. Show creator Max Landis responded to a disappointed tweeter, indicating that their disappointment is premature. We have yet to hear panel announcements from BBC (among others), so Landis’ tweet is a strong indicator that Dirk Gently will be back at SDCC this year. See? It’s all connected!

  • Last year, Lionsgate debuted their Comic-Con HQ streaming service, dedicated to all things San Diego Comic-Con related. If you’re an active member of CCHQ, you can head to Lionsgate’s Booth #4045 and pick up a free exclusive pin.

  • If you’re looking for Ninjabot’s table at Small Press #L-08, he made it a lot easier to find him. Check out his new banner for SDCC this year. And don’t forget to pick up your button while you’re there.

  • YouTube stars The Screen Team, which consists of cosplayers Angie Griffin and Chad Nikolaus, announced they will be at SDCC this year. Apparently, they’re looking for a place to crash, too, so if you know a place, hook them up.

  • You may have noticed that one or two exclusives were announced yesterday. If not, you’re definitely not paying attention. This is one exclusive that was too adorable to ignore. Chris Ryniak from cardboard spaceship designed this cute vinyl Slumberguppy from Thimblestump Hollow as an SDCC exclusive. You can find it at Booth #5638 for $15. This little critter is so sweet, you’ll have to brush your teeth after reading this.

  • Kid Comics’ Keithan Jones shared a work-in-progress from his upcoming Power Knights #3, which will debut at SDCC. Check it out at Booth #1943 to see the finished product.

  • The art in this post is so sweet, it’s going to give you tooth decay. That’s OK – we’ll risk it. Ash Evans adds to the sweetness factor with her Shooting Star print. Because who doesn’t love kittens in space? Look for her work at the Art Show in the Manchester Grand Hyatt.
