Here’s a list of as many of the get togethers at San Diego Comic Con 2016 we could find, from cosplayer meet ups to star-studded studio rooftop open bars with the great and the good – or at least the very famous. San Diego Comic Con is the ultimate place to blag your way in – but it can start with you approaching friends of friends of friends who work for some of these companies. Or just following Stan Lee, they let him into everything and he rotates around 20 parties a night! Good luck! And let me know how you do!
And go to the CBLDF Party if you can. And the Boom! Party if you can’t…
