Now that you’re hopefully well-rested from the 3-day weekend, it’s time to kick things into high gear, as we are only FIFTY DAYS (50! Yes, you read that right!) away from San Diego Comic-Con 2019. Panel confirmations went out last week, so we’ve got plenty of panel announcements, as well as news about a Doug Jones signing, artwork you’ll find at the con, and more.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

• Today’s edition of Under the Tents is really all about panel confirmations, so let’s get right to it. Up first, author Ashkan Karbasfrooshan is moderating a panel on Fair Use & Fan Engagement.

I'm producing & moderating a panel on Fair Use & Fan Engagement at @Comic_Con. If you'd like to join me as panelist or suggest someone, lmk. More here:https://t.co/Bu2JubaPyG

• And speaking of queer panels, Chandler Poling revealed that he is also holding a Gay Geeks panel.

Cool! We're doing the Gay Geeks panel again.

• Publishers Weekly‘s Deb Aoki returns with her annual Best and Worst Manga of the year panel.

Oh, too bad. Wanted to invite you to be on the best/worst manga panel

• And finally (for now), Christine Quimbo revealed that she’s co-hosting a panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year — and offered some hints as to what it might be. With a 2,500 capacity, we think that sounds like the Indigo Ballroom (though it could also possibly be 6BCF). And as she states that the panel was very popular at WonderCon, our money is on a return of WonderCon’s “Remembering Stan Lee” panel, which Quimbo co-hosted.

• In non panel news… For fans of The Oracle Year author Charles Soule who are attending SDCC, there’s good news: Sounds like you’ll be one of the first people to be able to grab an advanced copy of his novel Anyone, as he’ll be signing autographs and possibly giving some copies away.

The best place to (maybe) get advanced copies of my next novel ANYONE are at shows like BookExpo, SDCC and NYCC, where I will be doing signings and (probably) give away a galley or three. https://t.co/SoNkChqQTj

• Yesterday was Memorial Day, and artist Patrick Ballesteros honored the holiday with a new mini-original heading to the con, featuring Captain America himself.

Remembering all those that fought for our country. Have a great memorial day and for those who would like to participate at 3PM, is the National Moment of Remembrance where we pause for 1 minute in unity. Thanks all! #MemorialDay pic.twitter.com/5QriDpPE8J
