Editor's note: Since both the actors and writers will be on strike, please check the Comic-Con website for the latest information on which panels might be canceled.
As you can see from the Thursday recommendations, I am not helping you resolve any conflicts because many time slots have multiple recommendations. This is always a problem, there's just too much good stuff. My recommendations tend to favor horror, people who have impressed me on previous occasions, seeking out diversity, and then just weird, oddball stuff that I might not know anything about. Seize the opportunity to expand your horizons or just learn about something new like Fun with Thermo-Plastics!
And remember to also check out what is playing at the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival.

Mary Shelly Presents
7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Room 10
Horror gives us a collective frame of reference for our fears, so it’s no wonder women have created some of our most unsettling works of literature.
