With just one day left to go at San Diego Comic-Con International, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve screamed, and we’ve ingested way too much caffeine. But still, The Beat is on the scene! At the end of each day, we are rounding up our SDCC ’19 coverage so you don’t miss a single headline, whether you’re on the con floor in San Diego or following along from somewhere else. Saturday’s Comic-Con news brought renewals, announcements, and — oh yeah — the first 10 titles in the MCU Phase 4.
Be sure to follow us on Twitter @ComicsBeatLive for live-tweeting in addition to our regular coverage, and on Instagram for photos, videos and more. You can also check out the hashtag #BeatSDCC19 on both platforms for coverage from our team of reporters.
