Folks, we are getting so close to Comic-Con. I can smell that fresh San Diego air already and I’ve got a list of must eat restaurants ready to go. More importantly than that however is this edition of Under The Tents featuring a Loki gator, kickgirl art work, and the return of Neopets!
Let’s take a look at the news you might have missed:
- Let’s start things off with an enamel pin! Genevieve Santos will have this cute Tangerine Suga pin featuring Yoongi which can be found at L-7 in Small Press. As a bonus, if there happens to be any left after the convention, they will be made available on Genevieve’s online store on July 25.
