What I Learned at Comic Con 2018 Part 2

This is part 2 of a 3 part series highlighting my experience at this year's San Diego Comic Convention. I'll briefly cover panels, exhibition hall and happenings from Thursday through Sunday. 

Friday was good, still very crowded but panels were still very accessible.
My top three favorite panels for Friday were Voltron, World of Capcom and Mobile Film Making.

Spoilers ahead if you haven't finished the Voltron Netflix series!!!!




What I Learned at Comic Con 2018 Part 1

This is part 1 of 3 part series highlighting my experience at this year's San Diego Comic Convention. I'll briefly cover panels, exhibition hall and happenings from Thursday through Sunday. 

Thursday
I made the decision to prioritize panels above all else this year. I kept a strict schedule and attended as many panels as I could throughout the weekend. I wish I had time to talk about every single panel but instead I'll highlight my favorite moments and announcements.

My favorite panels for Thursday were a storytelling panel, a Mega Man panel and two Transformers panels.

Friday Panels Best Bets

The panels below are your best bets if you want to have a good time and not have to wait in line for 6 hours on Friday. You will have a much better chance to get into the following panels than a panel being held at the bigger halls. If you have any recommendations, please share in the comments. 


This is one of the finest remakes I've ever experienced. I highly recommend this show and recommend you go to this panel.


If you're into making your own comics, this panel will surely be valuable to you. Go and turn your iPad into a portable art studio.


If you can get tickets to this, please go! If not, see below.


Best Backup Plan 

If you're ready to go to another dimension, this should be on your to-do list. Check it out!

San Diego Comic Con 2018 Gear

Comic Con has come and with it another chance to improve on our gear list from last year. I tried my best to pack light which can be hard if you want to be prepared for most situations. Some big changes from last year, different lighter laptop, different sturdier backpack and slightly upgraded phone. A lot of these items are must haves and I would suggest every convention attendee bring them along (especially the toiletries) but not everything on here will apply to you.
