Under The Tents: SDCC News for June 8, 2013 [Saturday Jam Edition]

We’ve started a new, quasi-regular column on the Blog titled “Under The Tents”. The title is symbolic, as it’s representative of the times we all line up under the tents waiting for those big moments to happen inside Hall H or Ballroom 20.

Here’s the stuff you might have missed for today:

Fans of the hit Syfy series Defiance, get ready for season two by picking up the Defiance MMO game. It’s 50% off this weekend at Green Man Gaming UK. Take an additional 20% off with code GMG20-JLKSA-7A8HA.

Actress Bitsie Tulloch, who plays Juliette Silverton on NBC’s Grimm, tweeted the show will indeed be back at Comic-Con this year, its third year in a row appearing at the convention.

Mark Millar continues to tease Kick-Ass 2 fans, saying the movie will have a “massive, exciting presence” at SDCC this year.
