Sunday Coverage Begins
Saturday, July 26th, 12:45 PM - We're back with day four of our San Diego Comic Con International coverage. We we're up late last night talking with Skipper Martin and others for our Saturday night podcast and we're firing up coverage a couple hours later than normal today. We may go in like a mouse, but we'll go out like a 900 lb gorilla.
I encourage you to reload/refresh the page regularly to see updates as we flow them onto the site. We'll be working non-stop today and into the night until the close with our third and final San Diego podcast. It all happens here and the newest updates will be added to the top of each page.
As referenced previously, this is a different kind of convention coverage for Comic Related. Our plan is to roll out the updates on a regular basis throughout each day on individual pages. Think of it as a blow-by-blow rolling blog. This is the page for Sunday's show coverage.
Our Related Recap podcast returns with Episode #27
Checking in with friends following the fourth day of Comic-Con!
Episode #027 - Run time: 46 min, 18 sec
