Whew! It’s been quite the day in the world of San Diego Comic-Con news. We got so many announcements from Funko, the first news on the return of Fandom’s rockin’ SDCC party, news of a two-day music festival from Crunchyroll, and more. But the crowd is always chanting “more!” and we are here to deliver.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Let’s start this edition of Under the Tents off with some huge news: Nacelle will have a booth for the first time at the con, where they’ll have exclusives, signings, in-booth fan events, and more. The company — best known for their The Movies That Us, The Toys That Made Us, and other series from Netflix — have quickly become a source for creating great, nostalgic toys. We’re sure to get a look at all of that at their panels this year as well. Catch them on the show floor at Booth #2547.

- Comics artist and writer Daniel Warren has become a bonafide superstar — but that unfortunately does mean he no longer has time to offer up commissions at shows. However, Felix Comic Art shared that he’s bringing plenty of original art sketches to San Diego Comic-Con, so you’ll still be able to get your hands on an original piece by him.
Megatron original art sketch by @danielwarrenart! 9×12! For #Heroescon2025! Daniel no longer has time to draw at shows…BUT he WILL bring pre-drawn art! 22 pieces for Heroes! Hoping to match that for SDCC…including some surprises(?). Come see us EARLY! https://t.co/JxJMpgBPXm pic.twitter.com/jEPaZLbJ6t

- Do you love Brazilian Ju Jitsu? Do you love animals? Then you’re going to love Icon Heroes’ original creation — Zoo Jitsu Fighters. Artist Lord Mesa has created six enamel pins for the con this year, and while we’ll have to wait for the full reveal, we think you’ll go to the mat for this one.
Six fighters. One legendary artist.
Artist Lord Mesa brings the Zoo Jitsu Fighters to life with six collectible enamel pins.

- Crocheted critters don’t just magically appear — it takes a lot of work. And Mini Critter Drop has purchased a lot of yarn and craft material, so we can’t wait to see the full reveal on this one.
- Speaking of crochet, check out this tiny Pokeball at SDCC from Nifty Neuron (Psyduck for scale). Gotta catch ’em all!
#crochetDrop is back for year 6!
I made a shiny Pokeball because…gotta (bead) crochet 'em all!? Find this #Pokeball at #SDCC & it's yours! (Psyduck not included 😁)

- Are you ready to party with Yesterdays at Stone Brewing? Well, too bad for now — because full details are still TBA. They did show off this fun pin of Stone Brewing’s mascot/logo, we’re sure for no reason at all…

- Artist Amy Mebberson hasn’t yet opened pre-con commissions for SDCC, but for a very good reason — she’s booked with other jobs! But she says she will do her “very best to make room”.
- Want to catch Cully Hammer (co-creator of Blue Beetle) at a con this year? Luckily, SDCC is on his 2025 convention schedule.
- Artist Zorilita has some tales to tell you — My Little Pony tales, that is. She’s bringing the official MLP comics she worked on to her table #N-04 in Small Press.
I'm having some issues with the portal, but I will have the official MLP comics I worked on at my table. They are limited in number, so be sure to stop by Zorilita Mary Bellamy Small Press N04 to get yours signed at the show. #sdcc @SD_Comic_Con pic.twitter.com/wmGUFDA4Vz
