Under The Tents: Andrew MacLean, FiGPiNS, Marc Silvestri, Ash Evans

More San Diego Comic-Con news and announcements were rolling in all weekend long and we have collected all the tastiest bits and pieces for you to devour. We’ve got metallic kitty cat prints, (more) killer bunnies, commissions to keep your eyes on, and much more.

Let’s take a look at the news you might have missed:

Artist Greg Horn has announced his convention schedule and his signature rules. He’ll be making a stop at San Diego Comic-Con so dig out those back issues for him to sign.

Over on the Comic-Con section of Reddit, the community is looking for help getting their annual party off the ground. Location, day and time are to be determined but you can volunteer to assist with several portions of the planning, including supplying the giveaways.
Those who submitted panel ideas for SDCC are starting to hear back and several, like the Fansplaining Podcast, took to Twitter to share their excitement.

FANSPLAINING IS GOING TO SDCC!

We're so excited to announce that our panel got approved! Stay tuned for details of when, where, and who (IT'S EXCITING). We'll be hosting a meetup and taking part in other panels too!

A few months ago we posted that Head Lopper creator Andrew MacLean would be attending SDCC and we had high hopes for commissions. Looks like we can uncross our fingers as MacLean has updated his website to say that SDCC commissions are “Coming Soon!” He gives all the details regarding pricing, sizing and how to obtain one when they go up. Check out some examples on his Instagram.

Rob Hart, author of the forthcoming novel The Warehouse, showed off some of the fun freebies that SDCC attendees might be able to snag in July. The Warehouse is due out in stores in August.
