It will take a lot more than a pandemic to stop New York Comic Con from happening this year.
The Russo Brothers, Lupita Nyong’o, Jodie Whittaker, Woody Harrelson, Whoopi Goldberg, and James McAvoy… Find them in the #NYCCMetaverse Oct 8-11. 🚨 The full panel schedule is LIVE: https://t.co/zQ5oeNHOUF pic.twitter.com/pDE90OZkR5

Like San Diego Comic Con, NYCC will be completely online through a variety of virtual experiences such as panels occurring on YouTube, a virtual Cosplay Competition, and access to the Show Floor so you can purchase new merch from your favorite films and TV shows.
Starting to get that real #NYCC withdrawal feeling. Normally I’d be making my immense list of who I wanted to see, putting together my multi-day game plan, and just generally getting psyched. It’s like I’m having FOMO without there actually being anything to miss out on. 😬

If you aren’t familiar with Comic Cons, they are usually a giant convention experience that is hosted for the fans. If you like Marvel, Star Trek, The Hunger Games, and many more fandoms, stars, and comics, Comic Con is for you. You also get a first look at a bunch of new content for upcoming movies and shows.

From October 8 to the 11, you can watch a variety of panels throughout the day that range in exciting topics from TV show casts, fandom debates, and an inside look at how creators make their art whether its a video game, a comic book or special effects in a movie.

The best part of NYCC 2020 is that all panel events are completely free to viewers (which is not typical of any convention) and you can rewatch a panel at any time if you miss it.
