We all need all the good San Diego Comic-Con news we can our hands on these days. This edition of Under the Tents has some great news from some SDCC artists, some positive signs for Supergirl fans, and even some commission openings.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- The Heroes in a Half Shell join Patrick Ballesteros’ “Can You Hear Me Now” series he’s bringing with him to Table #DD-08 In Artists Alley at SDCC 2018 for their debut.
I did a #tmnt piece a while back where I drew all the turtles but 1, and everyone always asked "WHERE'S DONNIE?" Well good news folks I think I found him. He's over here in the new series for #sdcc having a philosophical can conversation with his bro! #SDCC2018 pic.twitter.com/EGbi9u5nlV

- Fans of Supergirl‘s Melissa Benoist cleverly noticed that, although she is set to star in Broadway’s Beautiful: The Carol King Musical this summer, she will not be present for the July 20 or July 21 performances. Does this mean the Girl of Steel is flying in for SDCC? We imagine it would be on a red-eye, but it seems pretty likely.
Melissa Benoist will not be in the roles of "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" on July 21 and 22
Remember that SDCC 2018 is from July 19 to 22 ….
Maybe Melissa will be present at San Diego ComicCon. #Supergirl pic.twitter.com/xkTk7edGAd
