Comic-Con 2021: Comic-Con@Home, II July 23rd – 25th, November In-Person Event Being Planned

under Conventions, San Diego Comic Con

Comic-Con 2021, originally scheduled for July 22-25 and whose 2020 edition included an Online Exhibit Hall and Transformers content across several panels including IDW’s The Science of Back To The Future and Rooster Teeth featuring War For Cybertron Siege in addition to IDW variant cover comic exclusives, will again follow the path of sister convention WonderCon Anaheim and be held virtually:

While we are buoyed by the rollout of the vaccine and the growing number of individuals being inoculated, it appears that July will still be too early to safely hold an in-person event of the magnitude of Comic-Con. For this reason, we have made the challenging decision to postpone Comic-Con 2021 as an in-person gathering until our 2022 dates, and once again hold this year’s celebration as the free online Comic-Con@Home. Unfortunately, the challenges of this past year and the multiple postponements of our two largest events have left us with limited financial resources, so this year the online experience will be reduced to a three-day event, spanning July 23-25, 2021.

While we lament the postponement of the in-person Comic-Con, our commitment to this community of fans and our celebration of comics and the related popular arts endures as an important part of who we are. As the timing and scope of our larger event factored greatly into our decision to postpone, we believe that launching a smaller in-person event at a later time may be a safe alternative. For this reason, we are happy to announce that San Diego Comic Convention is planning to present a three-day in-person convention in San Diego in November.

Stay tuned for more details about both WonderCon@Home and Comic-Con as they become available, and in the meantime join the discussion on the 2005 boards!

Comic-Con Special Edition will feature some amazing exhibitor exclusives! The always popular Funko exhibitor exclusives will be available only through our new on-site wristbanding process. In the Exhibit Hall, will have designated tables where wristbands will be randomly distributed by Comic-Con Special Edition staff using our new Cubes of Deciding.

If the Cube is generous, the participating attendee will receive a randomly selected timeslot so that they can purchase exclusive merchandise from that exhibitor. If not, then the attendee can get back in line as many times as they like until they are selected or we run out of wristbands.

If you aren’t selected, you can come back the next day and try again!

The lines for the wristband giveaways are located in Hall A. The Cubes of Deciding will open and wristband distribution will begin when the Exhibit Hall opens each morning, Friday through Sunday. There is no need to hurry (remember there is no running in the hall) since the timeslots will be distributed in a random order. We suggest you to line up in front of of Lobby A (on the walkway outside the glass entry doors) in the morning to participate in the random selection process. You must have completed your COVID verification and picked up your badge prior to lining up outside of Lobby A.

If you are selected to purchase an exhibitor exclusive, please remember:

  • You cannot line up to purchase the product prior to your timeslot
  • Timeslots do not guarantee product availability
  • Timeslots are non-transferable
