Under the Tents 2026: Scott Snyder, DWEORES, Ruth Clampett, Juliet Landau

What does the UBlog staff do for fun on a Friday night? Well, if it’s Con Season (or duck or wabbit season, for that matter), we’re writing an Under the Tents for you to enjoy. While you have your fun, we’re slaving away over a hot keyboard to bring you the best San Diego Comic-Con 2026 news we can find.

So please, sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labors while you plan for this year’s con.

Let’s take a look at what you might have missed:

  • If you’re trying to get your hands on one of artist and woodworker Oscar “Sketch” Navarro’s latest set of spooky lanterns for your Halloween décor this year, you’d better get in touch with him soon. According to the artist, they’ll only be available at the Oddities and Curiosities Expo and San Diego Comic-Con this year.

  • Ruth Clampett, prolific author and daughter of legendary animator Bob Clampett, will debut her latest work, WELCOME TO WACKYLAND: The Wonderful World of Bob Clampett, at SDCC this year. Look for her at the ASIFA-Hollywood booth on the Exhibit Hall floor, where she’ll be signing copies as well.

  • Comic book artist Corin Howell announced she is returning to San Diego Comic-Con after over a decade of absence. She and her assistant, Kim, are excited to bring their merch back to the Exhibit Hall this year. Howell also has a few pre-con commission spots open, so check out our Commissions post for details on how to order.

  • Behold! Artistic Flavorz revealed their third and final SDCC-debuting kimono: Pinoy Flavorz. Find this loud, colorful loungewear at Booth #1116 this year, where they’ll have “limited stock” available.

  • Legendary DC author Scott Snyder confirmed via Twitter that yes, he will, indeed, be at San Diego Comic-Con this year.

  • They say you only live once, so make sure you stop by YOLOPARK’s Booth #429 during SDCC this year for all their awesome die-cast collectibles, including a few reveals.

  • Just around the corner in the Exhibit Hall, you’ll find Limited Run Games at Booth #536 with physical copies of their SDCC 2026 exclusive variant of MARVEL MaXimum Collection for the Nintendo Switch and PS5.

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Juliet Landau confirmed an anxious fan’s hopes that yes, she will be at San Diego Comic-Con this year, but only on Thursday and Friday of the con.

  • Author Abigail Hing Wen has turned her novel, The Vale, to a transmedia experience she’s excited to premiere at SDCC this year. Her panel for the hybrid live-action/animated film will include herself, Animation Director John Aoshima, Composer Andromeda Wen, Actor and Producer Efrem Bonetti, and will be moderated by actor Dante Basco (Rufio! Rufio! Ru! Fi! Oooo!).

  • Pop culture podcaster Brandon Davis announced he will be broadcasting The Brandon Davis Show from Comic-Con this year and plans to announce his guests and panel details (what’s our favorite word, kids?) soon.

  • UBlog reader and friend Deon Sinque let us know he will be returning to the con with his “Super Awesome SDCC Drops” during Comic-Con this year. Be sure to follow along for drops.

  • Fire, bad! SDCC 2026 exclusive chase card featuring Elsa Lanchester as the Bride of Frankenstein from the Basil Gagos: King of the Monsters trading card set at Booth #1907, good!

  • Comic book author Matthew Rosenberg bit the bullet and confirmed he’ll be back at San Diego Comic-Con this year after a six-year hiatus with more fun stuff to give out to fans. Look for his final schedule to drop (you guessed it) soon.

Guess people have figured out so I will just say it.Yes, I will be at SDCC this year. First con in 6 years. Be gentle please.No, I don't have a final schedule yet. I have a couple panels and signings. Will post them soon.Yes, I'll bring some fun stuff to give out at any appearances.

  • Fellow comic author Rich Douek also confirmed we’ll see him at SDCC this year and will drop his own panel and signing schedule (when?) soon.

Yes, I will be at #SDCC this year! Panels and signing schedule to come, hope to see some of you awesome folks there!

  • Gothic artist Gus Fink will be in the Gaslamp Quarter during Comic-Con this year with a “mystery giveaway” to go along with his SDCC 2026 exclusive Kreepy Kuddles. Look for more details from Gus (not again) soon.

  • You’ll find Idiocracy and Transformers actor Jason Konopisos-Alvarez meeting and greeting fans as well as signing autographs at artist Lee Kohse’s Booth #2735 during SDCC this year. I know it’s not technically his fault, but I feel compelled to visit him to ask how Idiocracy became a documentary.

  • Artist Tiago Palma is bringing a few copies of his variant cover of X-Men: United to Table #HH-20 during SDCC this year, where you can get a signed copy from him.

  • The California Browncoats are bringing the perfect ice-breaker for parties and gatherings with them to San Diego Comic-Con 2026. Imagine strolling up to the punch bowl with your very own shiny, collapsible Independent Army camp cup while everyone else gazes with envy over the brim of their red Solo cups.

  • A friend of mine once asked me if Philadelphia was as weird as social media makes it out to be. “No,” I replied. “It’s weirder.” Philadelphia-based artist Matt Emmons tried to catch ’em all in his five-color riso print Kanto Safari Zone. He’ll have a few of these with him when he comes to SDCC this year, but he’s making this a single, limited edition run, so when they’re gone, much like my Tastykakes, they’re gone.
  • Authors are better with words than the graphic arts, which was perfectly illustrated by author Mathilda Zeller’s well-formatted text announcement she made for her summer con schedule. Of course, San Diego Comic-Con is included.

  • UK-based comic author Gemma Correll was happy to let her fans know that she will be attending San Diego Comic-Con this year after all.

  • Brothers in life as well as in art Isaac and Esau Escorza will have 200 signed and numbered copies of their TMNT comic The Last Ronin: Training Day exclusively at Booth #5018 during SDCC this year. The brothers also have their pre-SDCC commission list open as well.

  • Look for legendary artist Dan Quintana at the Red Hood Comics Booth #705 every SDCC morning this year with books, sketches, and limited art prints available each morning during the con.

  • They’re taking the hobbits to… Comic-Con! Authors Tom Racine and Kaitlyn Facista will be signing their Lord of the Rings and Tolkien-related books at Mysterious Galaxy Booth #1119 on Thursday, July 23 at 11am. Plus, if you get there early enough, you could even score something precious… a sketch card from Racine.
