We’re not sure that anyone harbored genuinely high hopes for the return of a major gathering like San Diego Comic-Con this year. (Furthermore, we’re not sure than anyone would even want to indulge in that veritable hot pot of COVID particles even in the best of scenarios.) But in case you were still equating a vaccine rollout with the likelihood of the public returning to crowded events and watching celebrities barely make it through the weekend, Comic-Con has confirmed that it’s just not happening this year. The organization made a lengthy statement officially cancelling the in-person event via its official Twitter account. For good measure, it also re-confirmed the cancellation of its sibling convention, WonderCon.
