2018, Brooklyn 99 was the best panel I have attended in 14 years of going to Comic Con. I hope to see them again. I would love to see Ozark and Mindhunter and the casts this year. Each year panels large and small are engaging and entertaining. I appreciate all that is done to bring them to us and the courtesy of all staff through my experience. Happy 50th!
Would LOVE to see The Walking Dead Panel. This will be my second year of going to Comic Con but haven’t the opportunity to see TWD Panel. First year I did not do my homework on which day the cast of TWD would be there and it was my mistake . My bad! Well this year the only 2 days that were left to go was Thursday and Sunday. Decided to go on Thursday. I will still have fun! Heck it’s Comic Con! 50th Anniversary! Congrats to Comic Con!
