It’s one thing for a vampire uprising to threaten to derail your fictional universe, but what happens afterwards? That’s the question facing the Marvel comic book universe after this summer’s Blood Hunt, and it’s one that’ll be addressed — although not entirely answered, because that’s what the comics are for — during the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Led by editor-in-chief CB Cebulski and VP of digital media and creative strategy Ryan Penagos (the man once known as Agent M, for Marvel fans with long memories), the panel promises to offer “a glimpse into the future” of Marvel’s comic book plans, with contributions from current and future Marvel creators whose identities are — of course — being kept under wraps for now to make it all the more surprising and exciting when they walk out on that Room 6DE stage.

We’ll be right there in the audience for the whole thing, reporting on every development as it happens, so bookmark this page and come back here at 4:15pm Pacific (that’s 7:15pm Eastern) on Friday, July 26 to follow along with our play-by-play as the panel unfolds. Think of it as a very special way of making yours Marvel.
