It’s the weekend before San Diego Comic-Con gets underway, and the news just keeps getting better and better. This issue of Under the Tents has lots of it from great artists as well as an announcement from NBC’s The Good Place.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Guild Wars would love you to come hang out with them while they’re at The Experience at Petco Park. You won’t need a badge to ride the Griffon or enjoy the food they’re bringing. See their recent post for details on their schedule and just what they’re bringing to the party.
- Gabriela Hernandez, founder of Bésame Cosmetics, will be on hand for a meet-and-greet following her panel, Agent Carter: We Know Her Value, at Table #AA18 in Sails Pavilion.
