Wish I could have made it in person. Thanks for the recap from this panel… It’s true that comics are almost a second thought at Comic-Con. Weird but true. It’s all about the people though.
I’m really looking forward to the end of Trinity War and seeing how it segues into Forever Evil. It’s a great summer for comics and people that haven’t “gotten” the DC reboot yet have some catching up to do now.
