If you thought Comic-Con was exhausting, just try keeping up with all the news. That’s why we’ve rounded it up for you in today’s edition of Under the Tents, which has information about the world premiere of the film Mercenaries, good news for several Eisner Retail Award nominees but bad news for potential Masquerade participants, sneak peaks of several exclusives, information on how you can score a ticket to the MTV Fan Fest, and word that Kevin Bacon will be at Comic-Con.

And don’t forget to check our Offsite Event calendar, presented by Eventbrite. New events added daily!

Here’s what you might have missed:

• Actress Nikki Bilderback announced via Twitter that her upcoming film, Mercenaries, will make its world premiere at SDCC on Friday, July 25. The film, which is being hailed as the “female Expendables“, may also get a panel, according to Bilderback. It’s unclear if the screening and the panel will take place offsite, or at the convention center.

• For those hoping to participate in the Masquerade, hopefully you’ve already turned in your entry form, as the event is now filled up. Comic-Con International’s website now reads:

This year’s Masquerade is now full, and no new contestants can be accepted at this time
Thank you for your enthusiasm for Comic-Con International’s 40th Masquerade!

• Artist Mike Henderson announced that he will be doing some autograph signings at SDCC, though no further details were given.

@JoshCrewsReally No, I decided not to table at SDCC. Just signings, meandering and attempting to relax.

• Kevin Bacon told a fan on Twitter that he will be at this year’s SDCC. Bacon has attended the previous two years for The Following, and while nothing has been stated about the show’s attendance in 2013, we’re taking this as a very good sign that the show will return this summer.
