San Diego Comic-Con is about so much more than just movies and TV. Comic-Con International is bringing back a special series of panels, called “Talking Comics with America’s Educators: The Comic Conference for Educators and Librarians”, which is aimed specifically at educators and librarians. It’s a great way for teachers, academics, publishers and more to connect and learn more about their field – just register now.

Additionally, the Neil Morgan Auditorium at the San Diego Central Library will play host to podcasts and webcasts all week long, including Elfquest, The Hillywood Show, A Song of Ice and Fire, and more.
