\n\n“We are still in the nuts-and-bolts planning phase,” explains Comic-Con International’s David Glanzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Diego Comic-Con 2020 might not be happening, but that doesn\u2019t mean that there won’t be a Comic-Con this year \u2014 it’s just that it’ll happen online, with organizers Comic-Con International teasing something called, simply, Comic-Con@Home 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual event was\u00a0announced via YouTube video last week<\/a>, with a teaser that promised “free parking, comfy chairs, personalized snacks, no lines” \u2014 something that, under traditional Comic-Con situations would sound like a dream. But Comic-Con@Home shouldn’t be considered this year’s incarnation of the traditional southern Californian pop culture show, according to show organizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t think we’ve really thought of it in terms of a replacement for the show,\u201d Comic-Con International’s David Glanzer told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> via email. “It is an iteration that we hope will convey some of the excitement of Comic-Con in whatever format we and our stakeholders can create. We are reaching out to various entities who are usually involved in the physical show to see if, and how best, we can incorporate them into an online version.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Diego Comic-Con was set to take place July 23-26, but was canceled<\/a> last month. Even though COVID-19 has been closing down conventions since March’s Emerald City Comic-Con, Glanzer said that Comic-Con at Home wasn’t something that CCI had been developing for a while; instead, it’s been a surprise addition to the organization’s calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When we had to make the difficult decision to postpone WonderCon Anaheim [in April], we were a little taken aback. We never had to outright halt production on an event in the works. Then, after a time, we began to think about how we could still engage fans who wanted the experience of the WonderCon community. So the WonderCon@Home initiative was born,” he explained. “We still hoped we could have the [San Diego] Comic-Con event this summer and really hadn’t spent a lot of time exploring an online component. Especially when we were already engaged in WonderCon@Home and Comic-Con Museum@Home.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WonderCon@Home featured\u00a0a mix of virtual panels and archive material from previous shows<\/a>\u00a0posted in the week surrounding the originally scheduled in-person event, while Comic-Con Museum@Home\u00a0includes video and downloadable content<\/a>\u00a0centered around exhibits and material found inside the Balboa Park location. It’s unclear if either of these examples will be models for Comic-Con@Home, with details of the virtual event remaining under wraps \u2014 for one very good reason: CCI has yet to decide exactly what Comic-Con@Home is going to look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are several different ideas floating about [concerning the format and timing of the event], but we are still in the nuts-and-bolts planning phase, which is why our tease about Comic-Con@Home was deliberately void of any specifics,” Glanzer said. “But there are certainly a great many options from which to choose.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the event ends up being, it’ll likely inform the future of Comic-Con as a whole, Glanzer believes. “I imagine there will be an online component to all our shows from now on,” he said. “It’s interesting that the Comic-Con Museum, which is slated to open to the public in 2021, had always envisioned a virtual component. They’ve had to move things along a little faster than originally planned, but I think there could be a permanent online element moving forward.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about Comic-Con@Home 2020 is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
