Even though COVID-19 cancelled San Diego Comic-Con this year, event and content creators alike have rallied to create a new experience for fans.
SDCC 2020 is now Comic-Con@Home. As the name suggests, all convention events will now take place virtually via the Comic-Con website and YouTube channel.
While it won’t be exactly the same experience fans know and love, there is a silver lining. Without the physical limitations of the convention space, fans all over the world can now participate in Comic-Con for free. (As someone who has yet to secure a pass from the SDCC lottery, that’s pretty exciting news.)
The Comic-Con@Home event will be held during the original dates for SDCC, July 22 – 26.
Traditionally labeled a “preview” day, Wednesday’s lineup isn’t full of your favorite shows and movies. Still, it looks like a lot of interesting topics will be covered. And once again, the content will all be free to stream from the comfort of your own home. Why not try something new?
