MTV put together a guide (WHICH I AM PRINTING OUT) for all the Comic Con goers. Here’s an excerpt, but for the entire thing, CLICK HERE...

If you haven’t had your geek pants cleaned and pressed yet, we suggest you make a beeline for the dry cleaners posthaste because you’re gonna need ‘em: San Diego Comic-Con is just a week away!

The annual celebration of all that is awesome in pop culture kicks off Thursday, July 12, and there’s plenty for Panem’s faithful to see and do — even if Comic-Con isn’t branded with “The Hunger Games” name. It just takes a little imagination! Here are our Hobnobbing-approved picks for the Con (in chronological order):

We don’t need a panel to tell us dystopia is hot, hot, hot right now, but you better believe we’re hungry to attend one anyway. On Thursday, July 12, at 3 p.m. in Room 25ABC, authors Anna North (“America Pacifica”), Neal Shusterman (“Unwind” trilogy), Lissa Price (“Starters”), Paolo Bacigalupi (“The Drowned Cities”), Michael Grant (“BZRK”), Daniel H. Wilson (“Amped”), Gennifer Albin (“Crewel”) and Marie Lu (“Legend”) will sit down to chat about the burgeoning genre.

A few hours later, head to the Blu-ray Producers 2012 panel in Room 5AB, where Cliff Stephenson (the man behind “The Hunger Games” discs) will talk shop alongside producers from many a high-profile project, including “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation-Seasons One and Two.”
