Update: According to the official San Diego Comic-Con International website, registration for the 2011 show is on hold due to technical difficulties. A new registration date will reportedly be announced on Monday, November 8.

Set your alarms for 9 a.m. on November 1, when Comic-Con International opens the floodgates to what's sure to be another maddening morning of San Diego pass-grabbing. As detailed in a statement released this week, registration for four-day and one-day passes to 2011's San Diego convention begins on Monday, and it will behoove you to plan ahead.

"2010 was the fourth straight year in which we reached a self-imposed attendance capacity," said David Glanzer, Comic-Con's Director of Marketing and Public Relations. "With the impressive roster of talent we already have lined up for 2011, we expect that enthusiasm to continue and for the 2011 show to be one to remember."

Comic-Con International: San Diego runs July 21-24 at the San Diego Convention Center. At the moment, passes to next year's Preview Night were sold out during this summer's convention, but more may be made available later.

Along with this news, Comic-Con has released a list of just some of the special guests confirmed to make appearances at the 2011 show, and you can see who they are below:
