Guess what day it is! Guess. What. Day. It. Is. It’s another day with a jam-packed issue of Under the Tents, that’s what day it is. We’ve got super cuteness from Nan Hockin, Skybound/Image brings heavy Gen-X energy with The Energon Universe, Greg Capullo’s first Judge Dredd cover, and a whole lot more. Good luck getting over this massive hump of SDCC 2023 news.
