San Diego Comic-Con 2025 panels include Space Command and Apex Comics exclusives

San Diego Comic-Con 2025 kicks off with panels for Space Command, Apex Comics, and horror creators on Thursday.

While the full schedule for San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2025 will officially drop between July 10–13, early announcements from studios, publishers, and creators have already begun trickling in. The annual pop culture event returns this July, and fans are keeping close tabs on which properties will appear during the convention. A regularly updated master list of confirmed panels was shared by Kerry Dixon via the SDCC Blog, compiling all known details so far.

The convention kicks off with Preview Night on Wednesday, July 23, though no specific panels have been announced yet for that day.

With Preview Night typically limited in scope, the bulk of programming begins Thursday with a variety of confirmed panels across television, comics, and books.

The television slate includes a confirmed panel for Space Command, scheduled at 10:00 a.m. in the Neil Morgan Auditorium.

In the comics and books category, Apex Comics Group is hosting a major session from 4:00–5:00 p.m. in Room 23ABC. Publisher Mariano Nicieza will be joined by creators including S.G. Blaise, Jessica Court, Ariel Olivetti, and Scott Hanna, among others. The session will feature exclusive premieres of titles like Phazer: Time Force, Seven Galaxies, and The R.I.G.H.T. Project, as well as retro-inspired revivals such as ColecoVision Air Raiders and Cosmic Avenger. Collectible action figures tied to these properties will also be showcased.

Later that evening, horror fans can look forward to Creeping It Real: How Horror Comics Heal and Connect Us at 6:00 p.m. in Room 29AB. Notable guests include Philip Kobylanski (The Walking Dead), BJ McDonnell (Studio 666), and Sean Sobczak, with Jim Ousley moderating.

More updates are expected as the official SDCC schedule nears its release date.
