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.

• Kevin Bacon told a fan on Twitter that he will be at this year’s SDCC.
