San Diego Comic-Con has been un-canceled! Sorta! The annual pop culture mecca was waylaid by the coronavirus, causing a cancellation for the first time in its storied history, but now people behind the event have found a way to bring it back, albeit without all of the things that make it…well, Comic-Con.
The Comic-Con Twitter announced yesterday a new initiative, “Comic-Con At Home”, a digital event revealed in a short video touting the benefits of not having to be in a crowded venue with poor seating and bad food…

Honestly, as much as I complain about Comic-Con this year, all of those things are what make Comic-Con what it is. Maybe I should find some old sweaty socks and pin them to my nose to get the proper smell of the Hall H line?
This announcement is extremely short on details, but we can speculate that there will be video panels with cool guests, maybe some blockbuster trailers, and rare items up for auction? I don’t know. But at least it’s open to everybody, so now nobody can complain that they haven’t been to a Comic-Con before.
More info when available. Color me curious.
