If you’re on Twitter, you know that recently there’s been a bunch of drama going on about Marvel and CCI. They skipped WonderCon this year and that caused people to panic. When you add in the fact that it’s a D23 year, people were quick to assume that Marvel would be skipping San Diego Comic-Con as well. When I say “skip,” I mean panels. Today Elmayimbe shared a few tweets that might help put fanboys and fangirls minds to ease.
4 months from tomorrow, Saturday July 20th. @marvel will have a hall h panel presence at #sdcc Tentative start time 3-4pm till 6pm. RT

Only kind of obvious but that should settle this D23 dog & pony show nonsense. @marvel #sdcc 7/20/13 Hall H panel. Count on it. RT

Personally I never bought into the drama. I don’t have any inside people or sources but I just couldn’t imagine Marvel skipping out on SDCC. They own Hall H! Of course there’s still four months between now and then but I know where you’ll find me on July 20th.
Oh and if you’re not following Elmayimbe on Twitter, you should.
