The bad news — especially for cosplayers — is that you can’t attend San Diego Comic-Con this year. The good news is that Comic-Con is coming to you.
With the coronavirus pandemic still raging, large gatherings like Comic-Con aren’t safe to attend. But rather than scrap the convention entirely, the good people behind the event are putting together a virtual version of the geek culture extravaganza. And it begins tomorrow.
Comic-Con@Home, as it’s being called, will feature dozens of panels with your favorite actors and creators discussing their upcoming shows and movies. These include numerous shows available on Sling that will be returning or premiering in the coming days, weeks, and months. So if you’re the type of person who's eager learn more about your favorite shows (and discover new ones), we’ve got you covered like a cosplayer dressed as Spider-Man.
Below, check out a list of all of the Comic-Con@Home content that will be available on Sling TV next week. As a special treat, we’ll be curating these panels, along with a handful of exclusive interviews, into a playlist called "At Home with The Con" under the “On Demand” section of the Sling app. So even if you miss virtual Comic-Con this year, we’ll still have plenty of content for you to enjoy, with or without a costume.
