New York Comic Con Moves Virtual

New York Comic Con’s in-person event has been officially canceled, ReedPop announced.

“We are thoroughly disappointed that we can’t gather together, in-person for the New York Comic Con we love to build and our fans love to revel in. We look forward to this weekend all year long, just like you, and with this being our 15th edition, we were particularly excited. I will miss walking up and down artist alley and seeing friends that I’ve made since we were in the basement at the Javits Center,” said Lance Fensterman, President of ReedPop, in a statement. “While this year will definitely be a different experience, we are going to look to bring the best and most engaging event to our fans, exhibitors, and studios through our partnership with YouTube.”

Like Comic-Con and other conventions across the country, NYCC will migrate to a virtual event. From October 8-11, the New York Comic Con YouTube channel will live stream panels, with the early lineup including AMERICAN GODS, the STAR TREK universe, DreamWorks Animation, plus Hulu & FX.

Additionally, fans will be able to do personalized autographs, meet and greets, and participate in the panels.
