Cartoon Network is back at San Diego Comic-Con this year, with panels for Steven Universe, We Bear Bares, Powerpuff Girls, and more. Looks like Adventure Time will be represented by a Card Wars tournament, rather than a regular panel.
Steven Universe‘s panel will actually be a live musical, where the cast and composers of the series will perform some of the show’s musical numbers. Panelists include series creator Rebecca Sugar, Esetelle, Zach Callison, Michaela Dietz, Deedee Magno Hall, and writers Jeff Liu and Ben Levin.
Signings this year include Steven Universe (Friday, 3-5:30 p.m.), We Bare Bears (Saturday, 1-2:30 p.m.) and The Powerpuff Girls (Sat., 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.) — all in the SDCC Autograph Area.
Here’s their full schedule:
