In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is shutting down numerous annual events and postponing movies all over the globe, many have been wondering whether or not San Diego's annual Comic-Con will meet that same fate. Now, Comic-Con International, the company behind the convention has announced that SDCC 2020 will be cancelled this year, returning in 2021.
"Comic-Con International (CCI) is officially cancelling the 2020 San Diego Comic-Con, marking the first time in 50 years that the show will not go on," Comic-Con Museum said in a press release. "It is the right thing to do. Comic-Con wants to do all we can to fight the spread of this virus and support workers who are on the front line, fighting this battle."
As to the many people who purchased badges, CCI announced that those will have the option to request a refund or transfer their badges for next year's SDCC event. Within the next week, all badge holders will receive an email with instructions on how to do so.
Okay... three days ago, I made a post in The Clickbait Hall of Shame about a "Has Comic-Con been cancelled yet?" article (the answer to which was simply "No"). Well, now, that article is both clickbait and outdated
!
Anyway, I guess this was pretty much inevitable, since it looks unlikely that we'll be back to normal (or anything resembling it) by July.
