With more than 200 panels to choose from at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday alone, the programming at the show can be completely overwhelming -- and it's far too easy to miss a panel you know you might have loved, or to find yourself on the wrong side of the con floor five minutes before a great panel is about to start! Take heart, brave reader. ComicsAlliance has sifted through the schedule to offer up our pick of the best panels, screenings, and events, starting with programming for Thursday 24th July -- with an emphasis, of course, on comics programming.

The latest trailer for producer the Michael Bay-produced, Jonathan Liebesman-directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gives us the most clarity we've seen yet on the new film based on on Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s enduringly popular characters. While fans may never accept the lusciously lipped, Shrek-like designs for the TMNT, some may be relieved to learn the apparent fact that the Japanese villain Shredder will not be played by the distinctly non-Japanese William Fichtner, as previously reported.

Fan reaction to the new 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movie has been mixed, to say the very least, and our first look at the re-imagined supervillain Shredder isn't going to change that.

Art: It looks like Nintendo's Pokémon Art Academy will teach North America how to draw in the fall.   Toys: Penn & Teller, Bret Hart, Stephen King, Leonard Nimoy and the band R.E.M. are set to join NECA's The Simpsons 25th Anniversary 5" Celebrity Guest Stars line in June.   ...
