Comic-Con is Coming to a TV Screen Near You (Here’s Where to Watch)
So you’re not going to Comic-Con? Well, there are still plenty of ways to follow the news (and mayhem) from the annual pop-culture convention in San Diego (July 20-24). Twitter will obviously be a great way for real-time updates, but there is also some TV programming to make it feel like you’re there (minus the sweat, swag and waiting in lines).
