I want to start off by saying THANK YOU to Shawn for writing this awesome SDCC Article!

With a little over a month to go, now is when some of the most important planning for San Diego Comic-Con takes place. Just like the start of a sport’s season, the month leading up to the opening is crucial for a successful season. So, having attended SDCC for the last six years, I’ve revisited this topic a number of times and have found that one of the most frequently underestimated components of preparation for the “King of Cons” is the use of Twitter.

One thing that makes SDCC so unique is that it offers as many unique experiences as there are attendees. That being said, following the right people on Twitter can significantly enhance the experience. So, even if you’ve never used Twitter before, I’d suggest you make an account ASAP. Here are some of my favorites:
