One week till Comic-Con!

I’m going. Are you?

Comic-Con 2009, home to the LAST LOST MEGA-PANEL EVER featuring Lost masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, is just over one week away. The festivities kick off Wednesday night, July 22nd, and continue through Sunday, July 26th, and they’re already looking to be a jam-packed schedule full of TV and movie fun! I, your humble Lost blogger, will be there for the entire thing, bringing you all the latest scoops and news to come out of the Con, and I hope to get full video of the entire Lost panel, as well.

Word has it that the Lost panel is going to feature some very special guests, as it has in the past, and rumors are circulating that they could include Michael Emerson (Benjamin Linus) and Jorge Garcia (Hurley), among others. With this being the panel preceding Lost’s final season… I’d say to expect the unexpected. And a lot of it.

But there’s more to see and do at the Con for Lost fans than just the main panel on Saturday at 11:00am. Disney/ABC always has a booth at Comic-Con, and last year of course they had a special booth off to the side just for the Dharma Initiative. Who knows what they may have up their sleeves for this year, on the show floor…

Here’s a rundown of other Comic-Con panels and events that will likely be of interest to Losties, taken from the official Comic-Con 2009 schedule.
