Under The Tents Late Edition: Rubik’s Cube, Walking Dead Escape, Trek Nation, Street Fighter, Mega Man, S.H.I.E.L.D., Sean Astin, Broken Yolk

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:

  •  A two-foot-high Rubik’s Cube made entirely of yarn will be going up across the street from the convention center at Comic Con on Thursday. Artist Marcy Kraft, aka the Crochet Grenade, will “transform about 25 of the cement blocks across the street” into her temporary art installation – so keep your eyes peeled!
  • Still on the fence about joining the Zombie horde during The Walking Dead Escape? Now that the programming schedules have been released, it’s time to set your plans. Register for the 4:30pm Walker Wave for Friday, July 19th and receive $15 off.

As a Horde Walker, you will receive a professional make-up session, Walker training, 2.5 hours to haunt the course and access to the Escape Party! PLUS: the first 8,000 walkers and survivors to register will receive a limited edition The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor Novel!
