New York Comic Con is nigh. Costumes are being finished. Badges are getting polished and the entire Jacob Javits center is preparing to be inundated with a combined millions of years of collective nerdery. In short, it is going to be glorious.

It is also going to be huge. This year's Con will only be surpassed by next year's Con. Like going to Sleep No More, you're never going to be able to see everything in one go (P.S you really, really need to go to Sleep No More). You have Artist's Alley, you have Autograph Alley, you have the actual comic sellers, the show floor and the booths all vying for your hard earned dollars. On top of that, you have the panels and exclusives that everyone is bringing from the Big Two on down. And then, of course, you have the Cosplay that is happening, quite literally, all around you.
If that's all too much, fear not, we're here to help make it a bit easier for you to manage. Today's focus: the film and television panels.
There Is No Dothraki Zone For Friendzone...Or Comic Con For That Matter
Always a big part of the convention, the networks are bringing a lot of content for us to devour. Who is bringing what and when?
MARVEL - the House of M will be pulling no punches this year. There will be surprises, exclusives, probably some tears even.
Agents of SHIELD - Marvel and ABC will be premiering an upcoming episode of Agents of SHIELD before it airs. The panel and screening will be moderated by Jeph Loeb, Marvel's head of television, who should also be bringing some "exciting news". The event will happen at the Main Stage 1-D on Friday, October 10 from 5:45-6:45.
Daredevil - the upcoming Netflix series following the Man Without Fear will hopefully be giving us a first look at what's in store on Saturday, October 11 at 5:45 p.m. on the Main Stage. Charlie Cox, who plays Matt Murdock in the show, will be on hand to talk about the series. Additionally, from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, October 11, attendees can line up at the Marvel booth (#1354) to receive the autographs of Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), and Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk).
Firefly Online - okay, so it's not technically a tv show, but it is a game based on one of the most popular cult series of this millennium. Developer Quantum Mechanix will be showing off the game mechanics of upcoming MMO, checking out the new social service The Cortex and then have an open floor Q&A. You can bet your behind GameNGuide will be there on Thursday, October 9 from 7:15 to 8:00 in room 1A06.
These are the panels and screenings we're most excited about. We love television and movies here almost as much as we love games, so we'll be covering all these the best we can. Of course, the best way to learn about what's happening is to come yourself.
Follow all our NYCC coverage here. See you at the Jacob Javits Center starting this Thursday.
