Under The Tents Late Edition: X-Files, Archie, Maze Runner, Giant Robot, HBO, TAH, NBC, Futurama, Workaholics, Veronica Mars, Supernatural, Offsites

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 this morning’s Early Edition here.

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

  • Fans of Archie Comics should scope out the official signing times for their artists, posted to their blog. The list includes artists from properties like Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, New Crusaders, and of course, Archie.
  • There will definitely be more than one X-Files reunion during SDCC! If you can’t make the Thursday Ballroom 20 panel, actor Dean Haglund announced on Facebook that he will be moderating the Friday IDW X-Files comics panel (titled “The X-Files with Creator Chris Carter”).

  • 3AVOX announced their exclusives and signing schedule for SDCC – and the toy company will be sharing a Booth #2643 with IDW Publishing. This year’s list of merchandise includes “great exclusive toys, books, t-shirts and lots more”.
