Here's how to watch San Diego Comic Con and which panels to keep an eye on

San Diego Comic Con is here and it's time to get ready for all the big news and reveals. You won't have to look far to find them - just keep reading for a quick primer on when and where to catch all the biggest SDCC events.

When is San Diego Comic Con?

SDCC is held in late July every year at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. For 2017, the convention will be open from Thursday, July 20 through Sunday, July 23, though there was already a press/industry/VIP-exclusive "Preview Night" on Wednesday.

There isn't one central stream for all of the events (there's way too much going on for that), but Marvel fans can start with this official stream:

And Twitter is teaming up with IGN for a live stream that will cover another good chunk of the convention's events. Not sure what to keep an eye out for?
