Pub(lishing) Crawl at Comic-Con!
Are you going to be attending this year's San Diego Comic-Con event? If so, you MUST meet up with us Pub(lishing) Crawlers! From panels to signings to ol' fashioned exploring, we'll be spanning Comic-Con from Thursday to Sunday--and we'd LOVE to see you!
Quick Tip for First Timers: Wear comfortable shoes—you'll be on your feet all day—and layering your clothes is a must. According to veteran Marie Lu, "all the crowds make for the occasionally hot mucky room (and hot outdoors) but other rooms will make your butt freeze off!"

If you ARE going to Comic-Con, be sure you don't miss out on the awesome MySched feature, which allows you pick from the various panels/events and build up your own, personalized schedule. If you're like us, you are dying to see that Firefly reunion and pretty much anything relating to Buffy. ;)
ALSO: If you see any of us wandering around the convention center and San Diego, please don't hesitate to say hello! We love meeting our Pub Crawl readers, so don't be shy! :)
You tell us: What events will YOU be checking out at Comic-Con? Are you wearing a costume?
