Con news season is finally starting to feel like it’s in full swing! We’ve got a packed AM edition of Under the Tents for you today, with your first look at one of Image Comics’ SDCC exclusives this year, as well as updates on autograph signings, mini originals, and more.
Let’s take a look at the news you might have missed:
- Jonathan Hickman, Mike Del Mundo, Mike Hiddleston are the exciting team behind 3 Worlds / 3 Moons — and they’ll all be heading to San Diego Comic-Con next month, with their own Booth #2806. They also mention “Special events and offerings for Founders”.
- Can you BELIEVE that Patrick Ballesteros has created 30 mini originals for the con? You’ll be able to grab them, like this Ted Lasso piece, at the convention each morning, with the exact release schedule of original art still TBA.
I do “BELIEVE” this makes 30.#roadto100 #SDCC2022 #SDCC22 pic.twitter.com/8hNK61Ybx4

- As part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s announcements yesterday, it was revealed that the first two episodes of season three HBO Max animated Harley Quinn will be screened for attendees at the con. Details beyond that are mum (and we suspect it may not be a normal panel) — but writer/producer for the series, Patrick Schumacker, mentioned that he’ll be in attendance. It’s also worth mentioning that actor Alan Tudyk, who voices the Joker, Clayface, and more in the series, RT’d the tweet. Could that signal cast will be at the con? We hope so!
Hope to see you in San Diego! #SDCC2022 https://t.co/l7vqgSyUpE

- Image Comics already unveiled their stacked list of autograph signings at their booth for the con, but we’re still waiting on the full list of exclusives. Artist Liam Sharp gave an early look at one exclusive though, a variant cover for Star Hedge #1.
Apparently my copies of #StarHenge #1 will be arriving at our house on FRIDAY!!!!!! I can't quite believe it! I hope it's printed nicely!

- Is it even a UTT without young artist Ethan Castillo showing off his latest Spidey print? We think not, and we wouldn’t want to deny you. You can pick it up at Artists Alley #AA-01.

- Comic book writer Tom Taylor mentioned he’d be doing signings at San Diego Comic-Con. Could this be a sign of hope that some DC artists will be doing signings at the con after all? Or is he merely referring to the already-announced CGC Series signings or signings at other booths? We’ll just have to stay tuned to find out.
It’s true! I’m coming back to San Diego Comic-Con for the first time in years. Signing schedule to come soon.
