AMC sets Walking Dead, Breaking Bad panels for Comic-Con

Comicon is all about the tv this year.

AMC announced its Comic-Con plans on Thursday (June 21) morning, including the first-ever panel for "Breaking Bad."



Stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul -- plus co-stars Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte and Jonathan Banks -- and creator Vince Gilligan will hit Ballroom 20 at the San Diego Convention Center on Friday, July 13 at 6:45 p.m. for an hour-long panel, presumably covering the show's fifth and final season, which will premiere just two days later.



Earlier that same day, "The Walking Dead" will make the leap from Ballroom 20 to Hall H for its latest Comic-Con panel, moderated once again by "Talking Dead" host Chris Hardwick. Scheduled for 1:25, the "Walking Dead" panel will feature stars Andrew Lincoln, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Denai Guerrero and David Morrissey (The Governor!!!), plus producers Glen Mazzara, Gale Anne Hurd, Robert Kirman and Greg Nicotero.



Good luck making it into both panels, if you're so inclined.



AMC is also counting Kevin Smith's July 14 Hall H panel at 10 p.m. as something of a "Comic Book Men" panel, though mostly it's just Smith's annual chat with the Comic-Con faithful.

Bout damned time.
 
Yeah. And next year will only be better. With onsite sales a thing of the past that means more tickets available, but...wah-wah...more people jamming/crashing the site and more overall bull****. I am amazed that, this late in the game, even though we were waitlisted and all, there are NO hotels available. So we are WAY WAY WAY offsite and will have to drive in and pay for parking every day. Fun Huh? You would think they would organize park'n'ride options for those not on the bus route, but where's the potential gouging in that?

Well as far as gouging goes, no onsite presale means no presale discount so next year everyone will pay full pop.

Anything else they claim about making the change for is pure BS.
