July is here, which means we can say our seven favorite words: San Diego Comic-Con is this month.

Are you feeling prepared? Probably not, but we’re here to help you keep up with the important news, from offsites, exclusives, panels, and so much more.

Here’s what you can expect over the next month:

Panel Schedule

Traditionally, this schedule is released exactly two weeks before the convention, which should mean that we won’t get a peek at the full, official schedule until July 10-13 — but with panel confirmations slowly trickling in, we expect to know a good chunk of the schedule before the full release. You can find all of the panels that we know about currently (which right now, includes Tron: Ares, Predator: Badlands, and more — a big year for films with colons!) over in our master list of Announced Panels.

Exclusive Announcements

Oh, did you think there couldn’t possibly be that much left to reveal for exclusives? How wrong you are, my friend. July will be another onslaught of exclusives, with announcements still to come from UCC Distributing, Mondo, Toynk, Nickelodeon, RSVLTS, FiGPiN, Peanuts, Toddland, Bandai, and so many more.

And of course, there’s still the Online Exclusives Portal sign-ups to come on July 7.

As always, you can find all of the exclusives that have been announced so far in our Exclusives category.

Autographs

While we know several panels – we have barely scratched the surface when it comes to autographs. Our annual list of Announced Autograph Signings compiles them all, and we’ll be sharing it soon.

Offsite Announcements

Expect this to be a big, big month for San Diego Comic-Con offsite announcements. We’re still awaiting news on many of the biggest players, including FX, Adult Swim, Hulu, and so many more.

You can always find a list of offsites on our event calendar.

More SDConCast

Although the new season of the SDConCast is already in full swing, we have an exciting last few episodes coming up for you. First, you can join us to talk SDCC TV with io9 and Gizmodo’s Germain Lussier on July 1. Then join us on Monday, July 7 with TV critic Eric Goldman and Creative Riff’s Director of Production Alexa Criscuolo. Then, join us on Friday, July 11 and Sunday, July 13 for our annual Breaking Down the Panel Schedule podcasts. Finally, we’ll have a show on Tuesday, July 15 with experiential agency 15/40 to discuss this year’s The Lodge. Then you won’t see our smiling faces again until we’re actually at the convention. Ahhhhh.

Is there anything in particular you would like us to cover or want to know more about for SDCC? Let us know in the comments, drop us a line or tweet us at @SD_Comic_Con.
