From July 18th until July 21st, the San Diego Convention Center will be hosting Comic-Con International. Over the last few days the schedule has been released and there are some great panels for gamers.
However, on Sunday July 21st the choices begin to dry up somewhat and gaming-wise the schedule is mostly niche panels or those related to careers. For those just wanting their fix of gaming info, Sunday is a bit of a bust, so a lie in or an earlier flight may be an option.
If you choose to stick it out here are the highlights for Sunday July 21.
