Under The Tents 2022: Effin’ Birds, Mooby’s Pop-Up, Nan Hockin, Jordan Blum

Is anyone else freaking out yet? It feels like a switch was flipped and suddenly we are awash with San Diego Comic-Con news. And while some exhibitors may be trying to hog the spotlight (ahem…Funko) there are certainly so many other items of note that deserve to be seen. Thankfully, this is Under the Tents and we’re here to show you some birds with opinions to share, some very sweet crafts, a few more panel announcements and so much more.

Lets take a look at the news you might have missed:

If you have a specific feeling about NFTs and want to share it with the world, Aaron Reynolds, creator of Effin’ Birds, has you covered with these finely crafted enamel pins. You can snag them at the Nerd Street booth, #2049.

Those pins, by the way, are my San Diego Comic Con exclusive. We were adding them to the site in case there are any left after the con. If you want some, best bet is to come to SDCC. Failing that, check https://t.co/Qs5plRHCU9 a week after the show. pic.twitter.com/6x80Q8iNlQ

Being one of the first to sign up for the Moobys Pop Up in San Diego during Comic-Con is as easy as shouting “I’m Eating It!”…..or just signing up for their newsletter.

Artist Jeff Pina has put all the finishing touches on this sketched cover of Gunslinger Spawn #7. You can add it to your collection at San Diego Comic-Con.

Completed that Gunslinger #Spawn #sketchcover for #SDCC ! I went with warm grays, since the page was a little toothy, but I'm really happy how it came out!#gunslingerspawn #mcfarlane #image #imagecomics #marker #ink #original #art #cover pic.twitter.com/vWdc2dBT2E

The collection of original art that James Silvani will have available at San Diego Comic-Con continues to grow. Booth #5555 is where you can find Don Karnage, Darkwing Duck and more, starting at $120.

Why is it every time I tell someone outside the industry that I’m going to be at Comic Con next month, their question is “What are you going to dress up as?”
Anyway, here’s more art coming with me. Starting at $120. Find me at booth 5555. pic.twitter.com/vLAPN2HcR4

Nan Hockin’s art never fails to make us smile….and maybe a little hungry too! We might need a bakers dozen of these cute donuts.

Ben Ferrari is putting together an SDCC Preview book featuring his comic, Carriers, with Red 5 Comics. This will be Ben’s first time back to San Diego Comic-Con since 1996!

The University of San Diego’s Copley Library is hosting panels and presentations for the Comic Studies and Practices Symposium, the first of its kind. The event will be held online the Monday and Tuesday before San Diego Comic-Con.

Creator of Hulu’s M.O.D.O.K., Jordan Blum won’t just be attending SDCC as a fan, he will also be on a panel, yet to be revealed.

Okay, just agreed to do a panel so I guess I'm actually going to do SDCC this year. Come find me at the dollar bins trying to put an Infinity Inc run together.

Creator of the Image Comics series What’s The Furthest Place From Here had the perfect way to announce that he was attending SDCC….except that he’s unfortunately not attending, but why let a great joke go to waste?

And I'm not going to SDCC.
