I started watching Mike Tysons Mysteries after attending the panel this year.
Discovered Archer a few years back, after sitting through the panel at NYCC to wait for Walking Dead
I'm now reading Grom after meeting the artist.

SDCC got me into Sideshow Collectibles. Their statues (theirs, ot the others like Hot Toys or Prime 1) are *killer*.

Great thread! In the mission statement for SDCC, they list create awareness of and appreciation for comics and comic related media (paraphrased).
For me, I've discovered new comic artists that I love as I am digging thru the bins.
Am I also allowed to blame SDCC for feeding my addiction and the $ it costs me?

SDCC has made me more aware of smaller artists and now I purchase much more artwork then ever before.

Jamie Tindell. He's a great cover artist! I purchased a few of his prints for my collection.
Nicole Brune. I love her art, too. Sad that I missed her at SDCC. I didn't get a chance to wander over to her booth.

This was my 10th SDCC so the actual list is most likely more extensive and probably has a lot of things that ended up being cancelled
Vikings
Big Bang Theory
Saga (Image Comics)
Fables (Vertigo Comics)
Gravity Falls
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
Steven Universe

I discovered new K-Pop artists at the K-Pop panel last year at Dragon Con.
At SDCC-I discovered Scorpion (waiting for another panel, saw the pilot and loved it)
We also watched the Time After Time pilot last year, but we all know how that went.
Actually discovered The Walking Dead through SDCC-that first year, after all the buzz and the actors roaming around, I decided to check out the comics and the show.

I started watching Vikings, Rick and Morty. I also enjoy walking around artist alley watching the artist and picking up prints.

I discovered how to draw panels. I didn't know they did those.

Not at SDCC but at Fanime I discovered the Cosplay Wrestling Federation.
Think of the smack-talking and crowd-hyping that's involved in wrestling and mix it up with people cosplaying and staying in-character. If any of you guys have the chance to attend anime conventions in California, I do recommend checking CWF out.
Some of my favorite "wrestlers" were Princess Leia, Negan, Mario, and Bill Nye the Science Guy (and as you can imagine, the crowd's chant was "Bill! Bill! Bill!") It's definitely my favorite event out of all the conventions I've been to (including SDCC).
At SDCC, I've discovered new artists that I now follow on social media as well as figurine collecting. I've picked up a lot of Funkos and I'm planning to nab a Sideshow Collectible soon!

I made sure to try and visit anyone who i know or connected to on fb by chance. show my support by getting something signed by chance comic or other. spend some chat time with who u like and say u enjoy or like their work so they know besides just getting anything signed. saw some in artisit alley working on commissions i guess or other and some just sitting and looking around and talking to random people or fans. i tried to visit as many as possible, but they was either busy or not at booth so had to skip and always have a backup plan so no time wasted. times have changed , but dont let it change showing ur support who made it possible to meet and greet those u like and enjoy and let them know if possible in person.

This year I have decided that I better start watching Rick and Morty. I've discovered, some amazing authors from the free preview books, decided to give some shows a second chances because I've been stuck through a panel (like Walking Dead, Breaking Bad years ago)

As a New Yorker attending SDCC, I've discovered I walk faster than 90% of Americans.
