Day Three Of Comic Con Brings The Super Heroes

The San Diego Comic Con is a four day event that begins on July 22. We’ve already brought you the schedules for both day one and day two, so now get ready for day three, because it’s a doozy.

SDCC has released the schedule for Saturday July 24 and apparently this is the day that the superheroes come out to play. Who’d of thought they would stick Green Lantern, Thor and Captain America in all on the same day? And does anyone else find it funny that producer Kevin Feige is the only one in the Marvel group not special enough to be considered a "special guest?" Throw in Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, the new Harry Potter movie, Let Me In, Paul, Cowboys And Aliens plus plenty of others and you have what appears to be the main day down in San Diego. Check out the schedule below.
