Under the Tents 2023: Jason Edmiston, Le Petit Elefant, Red Sonja, Monkey Minion

Let freedom ring… and let the San Diego Comic-Con news flow! While most are busy celebrating the 4th of July today and other festivities, here at the UBlog, we are busy celebrating the fact that we’re just 15 days away from the convention. Yes, tomorrow, we can officially say that we’re only two weeks out. There’s still so much news to come, including the programming schedule daily this Thursday-Sunday, but let’s start things off today with some updates on new prints from Monkey Minion, tons of BTS goodies from Le Petit Elefant, a sneak preview from Jason Edmiston, an official panel for Red Sonja, a cosplay/fan meet-up for Good Omens, and more.

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

Monkey Minion has some new pieces worth chirping about. These four new Borbs — birds in his signature mid-century modern style — are landing at Booth #2007.
