Writing an Under the Tents post is a lot like banging my head into a brick wall — both feel better when I stop. Why do I do it? Because that’s what heroes do. I’m not saying I’m a hero, but have you ever seen me and Superman in the same room at the same time? Speaking of the Man of Steel, we have some Superman-themed goodies for you, along with some brilliant artwork, as always.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Toy News International introduced the world to their SDCC 2025 limited edition from their new RPG, Mythic Legions: The Roleplaying Game: Heroic Paladin Cleric. While not a true SDCC exclusive, this black and yellow color variant will be available to the public at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 first in limited numbers each day.
- Twitch streamer and content creator Lorena is very excited to debut her first comic book at Booth #1807 during SDCC this year.

- It’s a g-g-g-GHOST! No, not that one (that would be copyright infringement), but an even more adorable ectoplasmic entity will be haunting Rhode Montijo’s all-cardboard Booth #1329 during Comic-Con this year.

- Hey! Watch it, pal! I’m trying to raise money for public broadcasting here! The Geeky Hooker, like many of us, is very grouchy over current events, so her latest crochet critter drop you’ll find around Comic-Con this year is raising awareness for PBS stations everywhere.
- First, the bad news: Artist Teighlor Johnson will not be making it to the SDCC 2025 Art Show at the Manchester Hyatt. Now, the good news: Her art will be, and you don’t need a badge to go check it out.

- Swing by artist Brandon Kenney’s Artists’ Alley Table #BB-15 during Comic-Con this year and remind him it’s a very bad idea to post pictures of an SDCC badge with your name on it. Well, it’s NEEL and Kenney’s SDCC 2025 exclusive print and sticker design, so I guess it’s OK.
- Author SenLinYu is bringing her latest work, Alchemised, to SDCC 2025. Look for her signing opportunities in Sails Pavilion and Penguin/Random House’s Booth #1514-1515 as well as her scheduled panel appearances.

- “I smell quest.” “I smell food.” You’ll smell both as you collect all six Infinity Stones for the Grand Hyatt’s Infinity Quest. Your prize is not exactly a golden gauntlet but a limited-edition water bottle as well as a $50 food credit for your next stay.
- There are a ton of great food options outside the convention center, but what if you’re stuck in panels all day? Is there a good place to get food inside the convention center? The answer is yes, and the San Diego Convention Center breaks it all down for you. I’ll be the guy eating pizza and people-watching on the Mezzanine.
- Or, if you’re looking for something on the exotic side, pop-cuisine artists Chain Restaurants teased a collaboration with FX’s Alien: Earth series for SDCC 2025.
