Under The Tents Late Edition: Party in the Park, G.I. Joe Retaliation, Predator, BBC, Doctor Who, Nickelodeon, RIPD, Plants vs. Zombies, Nick Kroll, Catching Fire

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 today’s Early Edition here.

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

DJ/producer Dillon Francis will headline MTV2’s Party in the Park on Thursday. Also set to play at the event is Danish rocker trio New Politics.

G.I. JOE Retaliation director Jon Chu and star Ray Park will be signing limited-edition Blu-ray sleeves for the movie, due out on DVD and Blu-ray July 20, featuring artwork exclusive to Comic-Con. Chu will be signing on Thursday July 18 at 4-5PM, and Park will be signing on Friday 3:30-4:30PM. The signings will take place at the Hasbro booth, #3213.

That Predator tease we posted about this morning? It could be related to the upcoming mobile game Alien vs. Predator: Evolution, which FOX will be demoing at its booth, #4229, during the convention as well as offering daily giveaways to attendees. AVP: Evolution is a third-person action-shooter game available on Apple’s App Store and for Android phones and tablets on the Google Play Store and Amazon’s Appstore for Android.

BBC America has revealed their three Comic-Con exclusive shirts (with two Doctor Who designs and one Orphan Black), to be sold at their booth (#3629). Shirts at the BBC America booth are $25 each, and are available in men’s and women’s sizes S-XXL. Here’s a look at one of the Doctor Who shirts, but you can preview all three on their site.

Additionally, @travelingheidi on Twitter has revealed a fourth shirt – for Sherlock.

Someone should probably alert Chris Hardwick that there’s a panel he’s not moderating at SDCC this year. Comedian and actor Craig Ferguson announced via Twitter that he’ll be moderating the Doctor Who panel on Sunday.

I'm honored to be moderating @BBCAMERICA 's Dr Who panel at #ComicCon in Hall H Sunday 21 @ 1230pm. #intellect&romance>bruteforce&cynicism
