San Diego Comic-Con has released the full schedule for the final day of the event, Sunday, July 24, and there’s not much to do. It’s Sunday, it’s always a slow day and kind of a relaxing day, which is nice for me because I’m working pretty much non-stop for the rest of the event.
My favorite thing to do on Sundays is to walk into the main convention hall, buy some toys, and attend 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 some of the highlights from Sunday’s panel:
