It’s the San Diego Comic-Con, and it’s creeping up – unsuccessfully, mind you – like a chainsaw-wielding locomotive blaring Danzig’s “Dirty Black Summer” on an infinite loop, with each playing becoming incrementally louder and more destructive. Basically, and cleverly, I’m telling you that Comic-Con is a roaring, steaming beast of a convention releasing voluminous news regarding future films, comics, TV series, and any and all things flailing wildly as we tether them lovingly to the pop-culture bike rack. Or something. Anyway, San Diego Comic-Con is nearly upon us, and our good friends at Entertainment Weekly happened to procure the full San Diego Comic-Con movie panel schedule. Yep, from The Dark Crystal’s World of Publishing held in Room 9 to an evening with Kevin Smith in Hall H, this handy, comprehensive list has it all. OBSERVE!
All times listed are Pacific Time.
