Under the Tents 2025: Tamashii Nations, eBay Live on Tour, The Loyal Subjects, James Silvani, Oni Press, Rob Liefeld

Welcome to another jam-packed edition of Under the Tents, your gateway to all the news for San Diego Comic-Con. Today’s edition includes a lot of awesome art, teasers, comics and…  Borbs.

Here’s a look at what you might have missed:

  • eBay is hittin’ the road and bringing the auction to you — and to San Diego Comic-Con. As part of their eBay Live on Tour, they’re rolling through several stops with rare cards, IRL pack battles, and more, and auctioning off items live on-site. Luckily, they’ll be headed to San Diego Comic-Con. You can check out a recent stop to get an idea of the action below.

  • Horror fans are eating good this year at SDCC and thanks to Brian Bear, you will have some cute stickers to add to your list of purchases.

New stickers! I was hoping to have these in time for Monsterpalooza but looks like they’ll make their debut at SDCC if I have room, and other horror events this year like Scream Diego and Creepie Aftermath!

  • Are your swag senses tingling? If so, it must be for Geeky Hooker’s latest creation that you may have an opportunity of finding during Comic-Con. All of the info about how you can find Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen can be found here.

  • Chances are you won’t be dining on turtle soup during SDCC next month, but you can still feed your turtle hunger when you pick up this rad TMNT print from James Silvani. You can find James with more of his work in Artist Alley at#II-06. Cowabunga!

  • Do you enjoy old-school side-scrolling beat’em ups? What about the Toxic Crusaders? If so, you’re in luck! Developer of the upcoming Toxic Crusaders game, Retroware, announced that they will be on hand at the Troma panel, set for Saturday, July 26 to make a major announcement about the game.

  • Painted World Fiber Arts will be giving you the chance to find some of their handmade goodies as they will be doing loot drops around Comic-Con. They recently took to Twitter to show off one of their drops, Ghost Face!

  • Keeping on the theme of horror in this UTT, Red 5 Comics’ very own Jim Ousley will be hosting a panel called “Creeping it Real: How Horror Comics Heal & Connect Us” according to a recent tweet. The panel is scheduled for Thursday, July 24 at 6PM in Room 29AB.

  • Oni Press has an upcoming new collection of more than 15 items with never-before-seen pieces – including a brand-new GENDER QUEER t-shirt design by Maia Kobabe. A portion of all proceeds will benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) and the Florida Freedom to Read Project (FFTRP) — and good news for SDCC attendees, Oni will also be making select, advance editions for some items available for early sale at San Diego Comic-Con in July.

  • Patrick Ballesteros, or PB if you’re cool, is back with another item for his Pop-Up during SDCC. Taking place on July 22 at Mnemonic Coffee, there will be these adorable Indiana Jones coasters. Cheers!

  • Enjoy a little villainy? New York Times Bestselling Author of the Disney Villains novels, Serena Valentino, recently announced on BlueSky that they will be on hand at SDCC for panels and signings which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Hey lovelies! It’s official! I will be at SDCC this year. We have a number of signings, and panels scheduled, dates and times to be announced. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

  • Youngblood fans get ready to open your wallets! Creator Rob Liefeld recently took to Twitter to announce a Giant Size Youngblood #1, which will be only available to pick-up Thursday of San Diego Comic-Con (which you can order ahead of time over here).

  • Skybound’s latest hit Battle Beast will be represented at SDCC by what looks like something pretty cool from Bill Sienkiewicz. You can check out the tease from Webster’s Vault on Threads.

  • Boss Fight Books — which focuses on creating great books on classic video games — mentioned on BlueSky they will have a table at SDCC this year. They have books on my personal favorite Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and more.

I’m excited to hold it down in the big room for the first time — I’m sure I’ll lose my voice & have no idea how many books to bring, but tabling and meeting people is mostly a great time

  • Our pal Monkey Minion has something in the works for SDCC and recently teased it on BlueSky with the image containing “California Borbs”. I gotta say, I much prefer the California variety over the Nebraska Borbs (sorry Nebraska!). You can find Monkey Minion at Booth #2007.

Can’t work on much with the computer needing electricity and not having any, so here’s a sneak peek of something we’re working on for #SDCC.

Make sure to keep an eye out for the panel announcement as the guest is Geoffrey Mandel, graphic designer from Serenity, Star Trek: Picard, and more!

  • Let them eat cake! Except maybe don’t eat these cakes, as they’re crafts — but they’re cute enough you could almost eat them! Unicorn Crafts returns to the con with some tiny fake cakes, previewed here. Head to #A-04 in Hall A to take a bite out of these exclusives (metaphorically!).

  • Arr! Shiver me timbers, James Silvani has a new Pirates: A Graphic History update! Which is basically just a new look at the graphic novel, which you can get yer grubby hands on at Comic-Con with some advance copies. Now that’s what we call loot!

  • Birds of a feather, should stick together… and luckily, you can flock over to Janette Adams’ booth at Comic-Con where she’ll be hosting the Birds of Paradise theater troupe. Children ages 9 and up are welcome to come to the booth to read a script and become part of the story to truly let their imagination take flight.

  • Horror, sci-fi, and collectible merchandise company Atomic Art and Music are heading back to San Diego Comic-Con this year — and a certain visitor is hitching a ride. They’ve uncovered an Alien one sheet heading to the con, and have “something planned” for SDCC. What any of that means, we don’t know, but we like where they’re heading.
