Which have you prepared for the most: the Fourth of July, or SDCC? While you’re getting all the fixins for your BBQ ready, we’re bringing you great SDCC news from Neysa Bové, Bill Sienkiewicz, all the crochet critters being dropped by Geeky Hooker, and more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- SDCC 2017 may be the year of crochet, mini-prints, and Bill Sienkiewicz. You’ll find his work all over the Exhibit Hall, and among them will be this sketchbook he’ll have at his Booth #1714.

- We told you there would be crochet. Have you been following all the crochet drops taking place at SDCC this year? If you’ve lost track of all the crochet critters (and trust us, we don’t blame you if you did), Geeky Hooker put them all in one convenient post for us. Make sure you’re following her Facebook and Twitter, and well as fellow Hookers @shozumi and @carmenscorner for their drops as well.
- If you’re into a smoky-eyed, emo Cate Blanchett, Scott Blair may just have the sketch you’re looking for at Table #FF-18 in Artists Alley.
