There’s so much Comic-Con news that we’ve started in on our (occasional) morning editions of Under the Tents – and look for an evening edition later tonight. So what do we have on tap for this morning? We’ve got news on everything from how you can be part of Conan O’Brien’s San Diego Comic-Con presence, to how to get your hands on a Mattel Hot Wheels car before anyone else, to word on Thrilling Adventure Hour panels, to so much more.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

• It could be bad news bears for fans of Arrow who were hoping for Stephen Amell this year, as he stated on Twitter that he doesn’t know if he’ll be in attendance this year.

Don't know if I'll be at SDCC. https://t.co/BXDVXaFYYj

• Not only is Ben Blacker moderating the Scorpion panel announced today, but he also promised there will be some Thrilling Adventure Hour “panels”. Our guess? Both an official panel at the convention center, and a Nerd HQ panel. Blacker promised an announcement soon, so fingers crossed.
