Due to the pandemic, San Diego Comic-Con was canceled for the first time in 50 years. Instead, the annual pop culture convention was moved to a virtual platform called Comic-Con@Home, an event that took all the excitement of fun of the geekiest, drained it of anything interesting, and moved it to a bunch of pre-recorded YouTube videos that offered no surprises.
Yet despite the many lackluster virtual panels, there was still a bit of news to come out of the Con. Here are the top news items from Comic-Con@Home.
