Under The Tents Late Edition: DreamWorks Animation, Veronica Mars, Superego, Geek & Sundry, Adult Swim, The Big Bang Theory

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 Early Edition here.

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