Now that you’re feeling refreshed from the weekend, it’s time to take a deep dive into San Diego Comic-Con updates, and we have a few. We have the very vaguest of answers about an appearance for Once Upon a Time, as well as commission list updates, gaming companies, and much more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Legion World gave us a look at their Legion of Superheroes anniversary edition cover that will be available at SDCC this year.

- Once Upon a Time announced a huge shake-up in their cast at the end of this past season. Of the original cast members, only Lana Parilla (Regina/The Evil Queen), Robert Carlyle (Rumplestilstkin/Mr. Gold), and Colin O’Donoghue (Killian/Captain Hook) will return for the next season – while Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan) will return for only one episode. This begs the question: Will Once Upon a Time still be at their usual spot in Ballroom 20 on Saturday morning, and with whom? Show producer Adam Horowitz did not shed much light on this, stating only that “nothing has been announced yet”. To be continued.
Nothing has been announced yet

- You might remember in our last Under the Tents, we talked about Adrianna Vanderstelt’s latest gouache mermaid painting. Recently, she posted a work-in-progress video to give us a little peak at her latest mermaid piece. It’s not quite finished yet, but when it is, we’re sure it will be beautiful.

- Author/comic writer Cavan Scott also has SDCC on his schedule this year. He’s encouraging us to check back soon for more details.
- Drive creator/author Dave Kellett gave us a glimpse at the Drive pin he’s created that will be available exclusively at SDCC 2017 and to his Patreon supporters.
- Gaming company The Behemoth added SDCC 2017 to their con schedule. They haven’t provided any other details just yet, except that they’ll be there as of Preview Night, but their setups in the past have offered arcade cabinets, raffles, merch, and more. We’ll keep an eye on them and post more details, especially their booth location, as soon as we know more.
- Steampunk designers Steampunk Fortress will finally be at SDCC this year at Booth #A-06.
