Evils unmatched are returning to Middle Earth as the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power marches its way to Prime Video. But before they get there, Middle Earth is coming to San Diego Comic Con, with a Hall H panel big enough to match the epic world of J.R.R. Tolkien's works. And since we love Lord of the Rings here at Popverse, we'll be there to cover it.

But what if you can't make it to Hall H? It's one of those places "one does not simply walk into," after all. Well don't worry - not only will Popverse be there, we'll also be liveblogging the entire thing so that you can follow along, no matter which realm you call home. 

Bookmark this page and come back July 26, 11:00 AM PST (2:00 PM EST) to hear everything we do in The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power panel, presented by Amazon Prime. We can't promise we'll be as informative as, say, a palantir, but we can 100% guarantee our liveblog won't let Sauron see into your thoughts.

Well, 95%.

Whether you're Shirefolk, Elven, Dwarven, or something else, there's a good reason to love Lord of the Rings. We do! With that in mind, we have a dragon's horde of goodies for you from a Lord of the Rings reading guide, a Lord of the Rings watch guide, details on the upcoming animated film Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirrim, a full the Lord of the Rings reunion panel you can watch, how the OG Hobbit actors stay in touch every day on a groupchat, and the true message of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, according to Gimli himself - John Rhys-Davies.
