There's only four more days until the start of arguably the biggest nerdcon of the year (sorry PAX): the San Diego Comic Con. It's now common knowledge that game publishers and developers have finally realized the potential of such a large gathering of disposable-income-laden geeks, and are starting to break out the big guns; the kinds of guns they used to save for more industry-specific shows like E3. A press release sent out from Capcom has let an anxious public know what games and panels they'll be bringing to America's Finest City.

Although possibly less impressive than EA's showing at the Con, Capcom does have a few worthy highlights to look out for. Lost Planet 2, which isn't scheduled to hit store shelves until February, will be in the house. Also being shown off is one of this summer's most anticipated titles, Marvel vs. Capcom 2. There's also a pretty good selection of Capcom panels worth checking out, including one for aspiring game creators featuring the one and only Cliffy B.Bleszinski.

Here's the full docket for Capcom's SDCC showing:
