San Diego C0mic-Con 2022 - Sunday Schedule Unleashed!
San Diego Comic-Con has released the full schedule for the final day of the event, Sunday, July 24th and there’s not too much going on. It’s Sunday, it’s always a slow day and kind of a day to relax, which is nice for me because I’m pretty much working non-stop for the rest of the event.
My favorite thing to do on Sunday is walk the main convention floor, buy some toys, and attend the BUffy The Vampire Slayer “Once More Time with Feeling” event, which is always a good time! For me, it’s a great way to end my Comic-Con experience.
Here are a few of the panel highlights for Sunday:
Sunday, July 23nd
10:00 AM - 11:15 AM - Jack Kirby Tribute Panel - It wouldn’t be a Comic-Con without a panel tributing the man they still call “The King of the Comics,” the man who created or co-created most of the Marvel superheroes and plenty of other comic book superstars elsewhere. Sit and talk about Jack Kirby with comic book superstar Frank Miller, comic book editor Steve Saffel, Rand Hoppe (acting executive director of the Jack Kirby Museum & Research Center), and Jack’s grandson, Jeremy Kirby. And presiding over it all will be Jack’s biographer and one-time assistant, Mark Evanier. Room 5AB
