SDCC 2018: Marvel Comics’ panels more revealed

Marvel has published its full slate of happenings for SDCC this month, and there should be a little something for every sort of fan.

Marvelous

A week or so ago, we told you about some of Marvel’s planned happenings for Comic Con. About that same time we told you to hang on, since there’d surely be a bunch of panels talked up sooner or later too. And lo and behold, here we are.

Marvel will have a seven-pack of panels setup at the Con, including some pretty cool highlights. There’ll be an X-Men panel, which is great to see, and also Marvel Knights 20th anniversary presentation. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to meet and greet C.B. Cebulski, the new editor-in-chief. He’s been at the center of quite a bit of fan talk online, both for good and ill, so this should be a lively event.
