Movie studios cut down on panels and parties as TV takes over the nightlife.

Many in the entertainment industry trek from Hollywood to Comic-Con not for any panel in Hall H, not to see if there are any comic properties to snap up, but for the thriving party scene that has cropped up over the past decade.

After film behemoths Marvel, Sony and Paramount opted to sit out Comic-Con this year, TV is taking a front seat at the annual pop culture convention, set for July 8-12. And that includes the party circuit, with familiar (Warner Bros. Television, Fox, The Walking Dead) and new faces (Universal Cable Productions, Fear the Walking Dead) helping to offset missing studio bashes.
