It’s not just 30 days to San Diego Comic-Con 2018 — and we have a jam-packed edition of Under the Tents for you today, full of amazing art you’ll find at the convention (we dig Brian Kesinger’s SDCC themed tiki coasters!), booth details, and word about the recently-saved Lucifer.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Jim Yung Kim posted on Instagram an image of some art he will be bringing to SDCC Artist Alley CC-08. It looks like an interesting alternate take on The Incredibles. He also recently posted these kawaii Neon Genesis Evangelion stickers he will be bringing. Commissions are open and he can be contacted via Instagram.

Everyone: please DO stop by to visit my new, larger, seriously killer SDCC gallery! The space is gorgeous, but formal attire isn't required; just bring your own wonderful selves. That said, my 'black tie and tails' will be courtesy of mishandled India… https://t.co/yc1UlZKCLR
