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.
You can read yesterday’s Late Edition here.
Here’s the rest of the stuff you might have missed for today:
- Today’s Toucan Tip of the Day is a reminder to please read the policies regarding Hall H and Plaza Park lines.
- While attending the offsite Geek & Sundry events, fans will also be able to score a limited edition poster, previewed below.
- The Marvel One-Shot Agent Carter will be debuting on Friday July 19 at Comic-Con, according to a post on EW.com. Since the actual Marvel Studios panel is on Saturday, this sounds like it will go the route of last year’s Item 47 and show offsite. Also expect to receive one of these posters if you’re able to attend:
- CCI has posted the Anime programming schedule, screening in the Marriott Marquis and Marina adjacent to the Convention Center. Also announced by CCI, the Children’s Film Festival schedule which will screen on Sunday July 21.

- Nerdist is giving away 50 free passes to see the new Christian Slater sci-fi horror film, Stranded, at Comic-Con, along with a nifty prize pack of Blu-rays and DVDs. The screening will be on Thursday July 18 at 7PM.
If you’re going to San Diego Comic-Con and would like to see a special screening ofStranded on Thursday, July 18th, at 7:00pm, you should definitely enter this contest from Nerdist News. Fifty lucky winners will be chosen at random to attend the screening, and will receive a prize bag with Blu-ray/DVDs while supplies last. You MUST be a Comic-Con badge-holder to win. We can get you into the screening, but not the con.
- Entertainment Weekly has a couple of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. teases for Comic-Con attendees hoping to get into the panel on Friday July 19, in its article, “‘Agents of SHIELD’ scoop: 5 things we’ve learned“. Folks might not get all of the answers they want about the upcoming series, but they might get to see the pilot episode (and judging from the panel duration, we think so too):
3. Here’s a question from the Internets that will be addressed in the pilot: Does J. August Richards play Rage? Expect that and other revelations at the Comic-Con panel, just not a ton of them. “We’ll finally be able to answer some questions,” says co-creator Maurissa Tancharoen. “Though I’m sure we’ll have to stay on the vague end of the spectrum.”
4. Which leads us to wonder: The panel is from 1:45 to 3 p.m. on Friday. Hard to imagine the Q&A going on that long — how many ways can Whedon say, “I can’t tell you that. Stop asking!” So expect some video to fill the time. Perhaps even … the pilot itself? Announced guests currently include Joss Whedon, Marvel’s head of TV Jeph Loeb and “more guests” (presumably writers and a few cast members).
