Are we having fun yet?! San Diego Comic-Con is officially less than two weeks away – and you are either so excited, or so terrified by all that’s yet to do before then (or, y’know, somewhere in the middle!). We inch closer to having a fuller picture of the convention with the latest news on Katie Cook, Genuine Haha, and Sho Murase – as well as word of how you can be part of the Supergirl panel this year, plus some news about the Game of Thrones offsite.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- The incomparable Katie Cook (who, if you aren’t familiar, you should at least recognize her work from the monthly Katie Can Draw series from Comic-Con International), will have “piles of books” available at Comic-Con, pre-signed.

- While details are still scarce about HBO’s Game of Thrones “Winter is Here” offsite this year – of course the Iron Throne is still coming. Highlight Hollywood publicist Tommy Lightfoot Garrett gave a look on the throne, which is being prepared for the con.

- I’m sorry, did you really think that we could do an entire Under the Tents without some crochet critters? How wrong you are, my friend! Geeky Hooker gave a look at several more critters – from Bob’s Burgers, Pokemon, and more – that she’ll be dropping throughout the convention. This batch was created by The Unknown Orchard, but like all the others, you can catch them by following along with The Geeky Hooker on Twitter or Facebook.
- Oh, I’m sorry, did you think there was only going to be one mention of crocheted critters at San Diego Comic-Con? You’re really not on your game today. Carmen Ruder offered a peek at a Bob’s Burgers Louise who will be dropped at the convention by, you guessed it, The Geeky Hooker!
