Shortly after it was announced that Comic-Con was cancelled due to the pandemic, they teased an at-home edition. They recently released some details about the virtual edition that `hopes to deliver the best of the Comic-Con experience and a sense of its community to anyone with an internet connection and an interest in all aspects of pop culture.`
Plans for Comic-Con@Home include an online Exhibit Hall complete with everyone's favorite exhibitors offering promotions, specials, and limited-edition products unique to the celebration. And like the in-person event, Comic-Con@Home promises exclusive panels and presentations about comics, gaming, television, film, and a wide variety of topics from publishers, studios, and more. They will also have a Masquerade as well as other activities in which fans can participate from their own homes.
`For the first time in our 50-year history, we are happy to welcome virtually anyone from around the globe,` said SDCC spokesperson David Glanzer. `Though stay-at-home conditions makes this a very difficult time, we see this as an opportunity to spread some joy and strengthen our sense of community.`
