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:
- Super 7 has announced its latest exclusives in the MONSTER FAMILY, the HONOO “NIGHTMARE” VINYL FIGURE, the LEROY C “PINK PASSION” VINYL FIGURE, and the ZAGATURD “SUPER MISTY BROS” VINYL FIGURE. All three vinyls wll be available at booth #5425 and will be $35 each.
- Upcoming video game “South Park: The Stick of Truth” will hold a panel on Thursday at 6PM with original creators Trey Trey Parker and Matt Stone, according to the official South Park Facebook page.
- If your Thursday night is still free, a good option for entertainment is the “30 Minute Musicals: Jurassic Park in 4D at SDCC ’13“. The musical, which starts at 6PM at the Horton Grand Theatre, is offering general admission tickets for only $20. It sounds like a great time:
Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution…How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?” EXPECT ORIGINAL SONGS, DINOSAURS THAT SING AND DANCE, AND MORE LAUGHS THAN YOU CAN HANDLE!
- Voice actor John DiMaggio (Futurama) is hosting a panel for his upcoming documentary I Know That Voice.

- Breaking from tradition, this year’s Warner Bros. Television key cards have gone singular – as in, only one television production will be featured. That show is CBS’ Person of Interest, which will also have a panel at Comic-Con this year. There will be two designs offered, which we have the images below.
