Below I’ve added the “cliff Notes”-like version of some of the more popular events taking place at the 2011 Comic Con event taking place in San Diego this year.  Friday is definitely looking up and you can see at a glance, what’s taking place in Hall H and Ballroom 20, with select other events noted later.

Movies showing up on Friday include The Adventures of Tin-Tin, Raven, Haywire, Underworld 4, Fright Night, Ghost Rider – Spirit of Vengeance, Total Recall, The Amazing Spider-Man, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Pacific Rim, and a few more.

TV Shows being represented in panels and previews include Torchwood: Miracle Day, The Walking Dead, The Big Bang Theory, Bones, Eureka, Warehouse 13, True Blood, Thundercats, Locke & Key, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, The River, Falling Skies (which got renewed for a 2nd season recently), Spartacus: Vengeance, and Alphas.

And stay focuse RiffTrax fans…  there will be a 1 hour RiffTrax Live of a short film!  They’re still at the top of their game, so don’t miss out!

This is not the complete listing, just what I thought my readers are interested in and the list is broken up into 2 sections!  The big rooms first, and then a slightly more comprehensive but not complete listing of events for Friday.  (You might notice that Legendary Pictures will not be in either huge room.  They’re in the second listing section.)
