The San Diego Comic-Con organisers have unveiled the Saturday schedule for Comic-Con@Home, and it’s fair to say the absence of both Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. leaves a big void in the yearly event.
Due to the current global pandemic, Comic-Con International has made the decision to go online! This year’s event will now be known as Comic-Con @Home. Comic-Con @Home 2020 will feature over 350 separate panels spread out over all five days of the event. Comic-Con @Home will take place this summer from Wednesday, July 22nd until Sunday, July 26th. There will be something for everyone! All the panels will also be available on the Comic-Con YouTube channel, so you can also access them there.
San Diego Comic-Con may have had to cancel its in-person festivities this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the celebration continues online this year with Comic-Con@Home.
The free online replacement for San Diego Comic-Con and they are trying to keep the rituals the same. So we have YouTube links for where the panel will be. All pre-recorded, it also means you can replay them as and when suits your own convenience and/or timezone. All times are PDT.
