As expected, Thursday memberships for Comic-Con International sold out this afternoon, more than two months earlier than those for last year’s event.

With four-day memberships selling out in November, followed by Saturday passes in December and Friday passes in January, that leaves hopeful convention-goers only with Sunday, whose memberships now stand at 79-percent sold.

In other Comic-Con news, the annual race for discounted convention hotel rooms starts at 9 a.m. PST Thursday as Travel Planners begins taking reservations. If you’re not actually entrenched in the often-frustrating reservation process, you’ll likely read all about it in curse-laden tweets from those who are.

Comic-Con International kicks off on July 21 in San Diego with a preview night (sold out, obviously), and runs through July 25.
