How will we spend our last day at Comic-Con? It's Kids' Day, which means we have a lot of panels for youngsters - but some of those will draw oldsters as well. Let's look at the Sunday programming.
Hall H: A short but mighty day in Hall H: Sherlock kicks off at 10, Supernatural follows at 11:15, and then Fox rolls out Prison Break and 24:Legacy.
So you can do Hall H and swoop in for all those sweet Sunday deals in the Exhibit Hall. We also have...
Kids

San Diego Comic-Con Feedback
SDCC sits down for its annual performance review. CCI Board of Directors President John Rogers wants to hear your most candid thoughts and honest opinions about this year's event. That includes the hotel sale, registration, parking, the new RFID badges, all of it. Don't hold back! CCI welcomes your tough love. 3:30 in 23ABC.
So.... a typical Sunday in terms of topics, but still kind of light? Yes, Sunday has always been light. But this year it feels a tad lighter than usual. A fun day for kids but the only panel I'd hit is the bisexual one and I'll probably be on the road by 3.
First-timers, I wasn't kidding about Sunday deals - vendors do not want to ship a lot of stuff home, so they'll be offering some great sales. If you don't see one, haggle deftly but politely. This is something to keep in mind on Weds and Thursday when you're in that first flush of Veruca Salt "I want it now" thirst for everything you see. Plenty of it will be marked down by Sunday - and of course, some of it will be gone, too. Use your best judgement.
So Comic-Con panels have been announced. How do you feel, now that the bones of your agenda are falling into place? Still glad you have a badge? Shifting priorities?
I'll post my thoughts on the programming tomorrow.
