Can you believe that we’re now less than a month from San Diego Comic-Con? News is flooding out of exhibitors and artists like its Hall H, and Star Wars just invited them to a free symphony. Today’s Under the Tents column has news from Traveling Stories, Wynonna Earp, some adorable critters from Moon’s Creations and The Geeky Hooker, commissions from Sean Forney, and a lot more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Way back in April, we reported on Traveling Stories had partnered up with IDW Publishing to bring us The Ultimate Comic-Con Experience giveaway. If you entered their contest, look for a winner announced this Wednesday, June 21, at 12PM PT on Facebook Live. Since they were able to meet their fundraising goal, someone will get the grand prize.
We're calling our #sdcc sweepstakes #winner this Wednesday at 12 pm pst on Facebook live! 😆💥Tune in here: https://t.co/BnuyVqRvwG pic.twitter.com/MfLhvPjBYz

- In our last UTT, we gave you a look at Martin Hsu’s Tropical Paradise piece he’s working on for Max Toy Company. Mark Nagata, artist and owner of Max Toy Company, shared a video of Hsu showing off his latest masterpiece for them. Look for Tropical Paradise, part of the Kindreds Figure Artist Series, at Martin Hsu’s Booth #4530.

- TBS is certainly no stranger to SDCC. Last year, they brought us the new series, People of Earth. This year, according to adult animation blog Bubble Blabber, they’re bringing another new series, Final Space, to SDCC as a VR Experience. What this entails, we’re not exactly sure, but show creator Olan Rogers did confirm that Final Space will be at SDCC in some form. If it’s as much fun as People of Earth was last year, we have high expectations for Final Space.
No sure but I think I'm going because of Final Space is doing something there and at Comic Con https://t.co/9yIP5xpcJ5

- With some of the surprising announcements we’ve seen this year, nothing is a given anymore (Nerd HQ’s absence still makes us cry). That’s why we were excited to see Rachel Heine, editor-in-chief at Nerdist, confirm that Conival will be back at SDCC this year. We’ll keep an eye out for the details.
Don't worry – Conival will be back this year. More details coming soon!

- When a show reboots, the original cast often goes gentle into their good-night. When they rebooted Star Trek, there were three series’ worth of actors who still raged against the dying of the light. What did they do? A lot of them got together and made their own Star Trek-like series, Renegades, on the Atomic Network. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at their SDCC booth.
