If you are planning to attend Comic Con, you really have to be prepared. For those who have been there before, you know all too well that while it is an awesome experience, it can also be an overwhelming force of geekery. The sheer volume of vendors, studios, events and people that are there means making plans ahead of time is paramount on being able to attempt to hit everything you want to see.
Be sure to download the full Comic-Con map and set yourself up with a plan. Print it out, map out what really matters to you and get a game plan. If you haven’t been here before, however much time you budget yourself for each location will probably not be enough! From things to see to the long lines, there will be distractions abound to keep you from actually making a set schedule. Without one, though, you may miss something you had in mind to check out!

Stuart Conover
Stuart Conover is a father, husband, blogger, published author, geek, entrepreneur, editor of Horror Tree, horror fanatic, science fiction junkie, lives in a world of comics, and a casual gamer (all of this when his wife lets him of course.) He fell in love with science fiction and horror at the same time while watching the movie Alien at probably far too young of an age while still being extremely impressionable and has been happily obsessed with both since! Around the same time, he had also developed an unhealthy addiction to comic books that continues to this day!Want to talk about anything geeky? Reach out on Twitter - @StuartConover
