Adult Swim is heading back to San Diego Comic-Con this year, with panels, signings, giveaways, and more.
While previously their panels were announced by Warner Bros. Discovery — which includes SMILING FRIENDS, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, Rick and Morty: The Vindicators, and Tuca & Bertie — we now have dates and times (found below).
Additionally, there will be a special limited signing for Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal on Friday, July 22, likely in the Sails Pavilions.
Keep an eye out all weekend for the “HBO Max Drop Zones” (no, we don’t know where they are yet), which will serve as beacons for HBO Max activity across the con. Each visit to a Drop Zone will present attendees with unique giveaways: custom content, swag, VIP seats to panels/screenings, and more, including prizes for Adult Swim.
Here’s a look at the panel schedule:
