We’ve reached the last day of San Diego Comic Con 2016! On top of everything else, there is a lot of amazing programming geared towards kids, as Sunday has traditionally been a kids-centric day.
Make sure to get any last exclusives or souvenirs from the Exhibit Hall (maybe even for a discount, as retailers try to unload as much as possible before returning home), as well as swinging by any of the off-sites before they start closing down.
