Read MoreFor the first time ever, San Diego Comic-Con has been cancelled.
The announcement was made today on Comic-Con International’s front page. “Recognizing that countless attendees save and plan for its conventions each year, and how many exhibitors and stakeholders rely upon its events for a major portion of their livelihood, they had hoped to delay this decision in anticipation that COVID-19 concerns might lessen by summer. Continuous monitoring of health advisories and recent statements by the Governor of California have made it clear that it would not be safe to move forward with plans for this year,” the convention stated.
San Diego Comic-Con will return to San Diego Convention Center from July 22-25, 2021. Wondercon Anaheim, which was postponed last month, will return to the Anaheim Convention Center from March 26-28, 2021.
Anyone who purchased badges for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con can either request a refund or transfer them to next year’s event. An email will be sent to those people within the next week. Hotel reservations made through Comic-Con’s official hotel affiliate onPeak will be cancelled, and money will be refunded.
Yesterday, the folks behind San Diego Comic-Con have unveiled six new guests heading to the convention.
Writers Lorena Alvarez Gómez (Nightlights, Hicotea), Darcie Little Badger (Elatsoe, Strangelands) and Dan Slott (Fantastic Four, Iron Man 2020) will hit up the convention alongside artists Matthew Southworth (Stumptown co-creator), Lee Weeks (Batman, Daredevil, Gambit), and Mark Wheatley (Breathtaker, Frankenstein Mobster). They join previously announced guests such as Felicia Day, J. Michael Straczynski, and Ezra Claytan Daniels.
More guests for San Diego Comic-Con 2020 will be revealed next Monday (March 23). The convention will take place from July 23 to July 26 (preview night on July 22) at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. More information about the convention can be found here.
