For the celebrity-obsessed, Comic-Con<\/a> is like Christmas in July \u2014 when Hollywood comes to town with a sleigh filled with celebrities.<\/p>\n

The official day-by-day schedules<\/a> released last week have given us a peek into what this year\u2019s Comic-Con holds for us, with names ranging from John Cena and George Takei to Rebecca Romijn and Kate McKinnon.<\/p>\n

With what appears to be a big Hollywood presence<\/a> throughout, we expect more high-wattage names to leak in the coming days.<\/p>\n
