It’s been quite a rollercoaster of emotions this week as far as SDCC news goes. Some of us were lucky and heard back from one of the offsites or activations they were waiting for. The rest of us will be the GIF of sad David Tennant standing in the rain as we watch you lucky bastards get to have all the fun. That’s OK; we’ll have more fun without you. So there. Oh, and here’s some Comic-Con news for you, too. No, I’m not bitter that I’m 0-for-everything in Comic-Con lotteries, why do you ask?
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- In my youth, there were those who thought I was pretty fly (for a white guy). You and your littles can swing by Lolligag’s Booth #4532 in the Exhibit Hall at SDCC this year to give them a chance to express how fly they are with their “I’m So Fly” t-shirt. Of course, you can’t leave without the matching Lolligag purse from Thermos. After all, every fly girl knows how to accessorize.
- Artist Matt Hebb revealed the last of his Simpsons Playbills he’ll have with him at Small Press Table #F-05 during Comic-Con this year, Springfield, Springfield. Best. Play. Everrrrr.
- Canadian surrealist Camilla d’Errico revealed her SDCC 2024 exclusives and specials she’s bringing to Exhibit Hall Booth #4723 for her 26th(!) Comic-Con this year.
Are you coming to San Diego Comic-Con this year ❓🤓💥 This year is my 26th year attending SDCC!🙌 So make sure to visit me at my booth #4723. I’ll be debuting the coolest things I could think for this year’s SDCC!😉 PLUS, I have deals and specials exclusively at my booth for you pic.twitter.com/YZHqBWvMGe

- Let’s be honest, would this be a legitimate edition of Under the Tents without crochet critters? Of course not, so Heather from Painted World Fiber Arts tweeted one of the two adorable Yoshi critters she’ll be placing around the convention center during Comic-Con this year.

- When he was a lad, he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large. You may have laughed at Disney’s Beauty and the Beast‘s bad guy Gaston, but author Serena Valentino wants to put a stop to that, so she’s bringing early release copies of her latest work, Kill the Beast, to Disney Publishing’s Booth #2021. You’ll also catch her signing at the booth Friday and Saturday, so swing by and say hi. And just wait til you see just how good he is at exfactorating.
There will be EARLY RELEASE copies of KILL THE BEAST at SDCC and I will be there to sign them Friday at 2:00 pm and Saturday at 11:00 am. Come see me at Disney Publishing booth number 2021. So excited! pic.twitter.com/2OhhNxSUB9

- One of the first big games released for the Atari 2600 game console was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Those of us old enough to have played this game remember the countless hours trying to figure out, “Does this game ever actually end?” Artist Spencer Brinkerhoff’s 13″x19″ Indiana Jones print he’s bringing to Booth #5560 at SDCC this year evokes memories of that endless game and my mother yelling at me to please turn the *bleep* thing off already.
- Illustrator and character designer Sara Kipin revealed her Elden Ring-themed sticker pack for SDCC 2024, “Shadow of the Erdtree.” Look for it and her at Gallery Nucleus’s Booth #2015 on the Exhibit Hall floor.
- Watercolor artist Natalia, also known as Parakid, revealed her latest Pikmin print she’ll have with her at Small Press Table #O-14 during Comic-Con this year.

- Publishers Top Cow are extremely excited to reveal their latest title, Port of Earth, will be available at Booth #2629 for SDCC this year. With cover art by Andrea Mutti and written by Zack Kaplan, it’s surely something you’ll want to display prominently on your shelf at home.
- Lucha libre comics publisher Masked Republic will have 150 copies of the ashcan release for Vampiro: Rockabilly Apocalypse, set for wide release this October, at Booth #1901 during Comic-Con this year, along with signings by the legend Vampiro himself as well as writer Michael Kingston and cover artist Rafael Gallur.
