It was a bit of a more “chill” weekend — which has given us some time to catch up on Comic-Con things, and hopefully you’ve also been using that time wisely! We hope you’re marking your schedule plans now that three-fourths of the programming schedule is out (and be sure to join us tomorrow at 4pm PT for our annual Breaking Down the Programming Schedule — Saturday & Sunday edition).
For now, we’ve got plenty of additional SDCC news updates for you, from panel giveaways to wrestlings heroes and more.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Yo Joe! Sgt. Slaughter revealed that he’ll be heading to San Diego Comic-Con from Thursday, July 20 – Sunday, July 23. Could he be making a special appearance on a panel? We’ll have to stay tuned.
