The biggest news, though, is that Macross Japanee illustrator Hidetaka Tenjin is heading to San Diego Comic-Con this year as a Special Guest, and that his first overseas publication will be a Hidetaka Tenjin’s Artistry of Macross book.

It’s limited to just 100 copies, and will be available during Tenjin’s signing at the UDON booth for $50 each.
Additionally, Udon is bringing you the first-ever officially licensed merch from Street Fighter 6 with this Street Fighter 6 – Chun Li – San Diego 2022 Exclusive T-Shirt.
