It’s almost that time of year again, kids! Comic-Con is returning to San Diego this year with new programs to attend, new booths out on the floor, and of course, lots of people in costume. RT will be there to cover a lot of the events and bring you the latest updates on the goings-on around the convention, but with the simplified schedule we’ve put together for you, now you can plan which parts of the convention you’ll want to check out (and which parts of it you might need to line up for hours ahead of time). We’ve broken down each day on a separate page for easier navigation, so knock yourselves out and have a look!
