Comic-Con: Sunday's Schedule Includes 'The Strain', 'Tom and Jerry', 'Supernatural', and Batkid


The full San Diego Comic-Con schedule for Sunday, July 27th has been released, and like most years the final day of the event is a light one. Generally I've already begun my flight back home on this day but for those who stick around there are still a few panels and presentations to pick from. Our own +John Nolan and +Mae Abdulbaki would be happy to attend the Supernatural panel and Q&A even if nobody else is (just kidding, don't kill me), and the God-awful unusually popular series The Following is back for the third time. There's also going to be a special preview of the third episode of Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain, and a sneak peek at the final season of FX's Sons of Anarchy. Basically FX is very well represented again this year. On the film side, the cat & mouse duo of Tom and Jerry make their return with the feature film, Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon, which will be making its world premiere.

And one thing I'm rather sore to be missing is Dana Nachman's panel on her latest project, Batkid: The Film, which is obviously about the little kid who became an overnight after his wish to be Batman's sidekick was granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and a town full of big-hearted people. Batkid himself isn't slated to be there but a number of people involved in the event will be. That would be kind of cool.

Check out the full run down below.

Marvel Comics' 75th and Daredevil's 50th
75 years ago the Marvel Universe first came to life with the release of Marvel Comics #1 (soon to become Marvel Mystery Comics), featuring the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner. The company was called Timely then, but as you can see, the word "Marvel" was already part of its comics world. Continuously publishing since 1939, Marvel revolutionized comics in the early 1960s with the help of legends such as Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko. Ever since then, Marvel has proven what remarkable staying power and worldwide appeal these characters have. Daredevil celebrates his 50th anniversary this year, for one! Newer waves of talented artists and writers have all taken the helm at developing these beloved characters' storylines and influencing their looks and appeal into the 21st century. Moderated by Mark Waid (Daredevil), Comic-Con special guests Dan Slott (writer, Superior Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man) and Joe Quesada (chief creative officer, Marvel Entertainment) will be on hand to discuss these heroes and what keeps them fighting the good fight.
