Under the Tents: Gigi Edgley, Liam McIntyre, Storm Collectibles, Patrick Ballesteros, Justin Harder, Masked Republic, DKE Toys

With just over a month to go until San Diego Comic-Con 2018, preparation for SDCC is definitely underway. In this edition of Under the Tents, we have more prints from Justin Harder and Patrick Ballesteros, commission openings from Steve Bryant, and lots more SDCC news.

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

  • We won’t say we’re in love with Justin Harder’s latest print in his Squints series: Meg from Disney’s Hercules. Who do we think we’re kidding? We’re going to move heaven and earth to find this at his Small Press table.

  • If you’ve ever wondered what lucha libre wrestling would look like in comic book form, Chido Comics and Masked Republic have your answer. According to Lucha Central, they’ve tag teamed to bring us their new comic book series, The Masked Republic Luchaverse, and plan to debut at SDCC this year with their first issue, The Masked Republic Luchaverse: Rey Mysterio One-Shot. Wrestler Rey Mysterio will be on hand Friday, July 20 to help kick off the comic series.

  • Artist Nan Hockin is so excited for the new Wreck It Ralph sequel, she’s bringing a little Vanellope von Schweetz with her to SDCC this year, along with lots more small originals.

  • DKE Toys offered a sneak peek on their Instagram feed of their SDCC 2018 exclusives. We think Mighty Jabba would approve.

  • Actress Gigi Edgley can often be found at SDCC, and she is not skipping this year. The Farscape actress announced via Twitter that she will be signing and paneling at the con this year for a panel called “Romance in SFF&H” – and she’ll be joined by panelists Mark O’Bannon, Marc Zicree, Jimmy Diggs, Claudia McKinney, and Spartacus actor Liam McIntyre. Stay tuned to our Panels and Autographs posts (respectively) for more details as they’re announced.
  • If you missed out on ordering an SDCC commission from our good friend, Patrick Ballesteros, you might still have a shot, as he may open up a few more spots in July. Even if he doesn’t, he still has his “Can You Hear Me Now?” series, which you’ll find at Table #DD-08 in Small Press.
