Comic-Con A to Z EVENTS GUIDE
Comic-Con’s onsite Events Guide is given free to each attendee while supplies last. It’s the official schedule of the entire show, encompassing Programming, Autograph signings, Games, Anime, and Film screenings (including the Comic-Con International Film Festival). It also lists all the exhibitors and contains a special section highlighting events and signings at booths in the Exhibit Hall. This giant publication also features maps and info to help make your visit to Comic-Con—and downtown San Diego—more complete. Look for it with your Souvenir Book and goody bag when you pick up your membership badge!
