Alien: Earth – The Wreckage
FX’s upcoming series Alien: Earth crash-lands at Comic-Con with an immersive activation on the Hilton Bayfront Lawn, where fans will be able to explore the eerie wreckage of the USCSS Maginot during the day — or return after dark for “The Wreckage: Code Red,” a terrifying night mission featuring alien specimens and spine-tingling surprises.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians – The Percy Jackson Experience

King of the Hill – Hank Hill’s Backyard
Hulu brings King of the Hill back to Comic-Con with a full-on Texas cookout in honor of the series revival premiering August 4. Here, you’ll find Alamo Pong, where atetndees can participate in some friendly competition for a chance to win a prize and claim the Alamo Pong championship. You can also try your hand (or foot) at the Rhinestein’s Cowboy Boot Toss. Here, guests will be given two pairs of oversized, animated-style boots with the goal of tossing the open side of the boot over a stake in front of the store (and of course there’s a prize!).
You’ll also find large-scale 2D cutouts of King of the Hill characters throughout, as well as photo ops to put you in the middle of the world of King of the Hill with a photo op featuring the Hill family residence. You can pose on the front lawn with 2D cutouts of the family, “ride” the family lawn mower, and “drive” through Arlen, Texas.
Over at the Mega Lo Mart, you’ll be able to customize your own Trucker hat with special patches for King of the Hill. You’ll also be able to quench your thirst with a crisp can of Alamo water under the Arlen water tower.
You’ll have worked up an appetite by now, so refuel and rest at umbrellas and picnic tables with the Hill family, with Texas-inspired BBQ bites to feed you. There will also be lawn games, such as cornhole, and photo ops (including Dale’s Dead Bug van) nearby.
The activation will be open Thursday, July 24 from 11:30am-7pm, Friday and Saturday from 9:30am-7pm, and Sunday from 9:30am-5pm.
Additionally, they’ll have panels, including:
