San Diego Comic-Con will be here before you know it, and it’s going to become hard to keep up with all of the news. We recommend that if you see something you’re interested in, you start jotting down those booth numbers and event times now.
But first, take a look at today’s edition of Under the Tents, which has news on Adventure Time and Aliens exclusives and collectibles, the new San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Souvenir Book cover artwork, word on appearances from Adam Savage and Robert Liefeld, and much more.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- A tweet from Daniel Presedo, CEO of Dramenon Studios LLC and a speaker and proponent of Adobe products, has revealed that the Adobe booth will be returning to San Diego this summer, and asked fans what they’d like to see at the booth.
