Shout! Factory’s Line Up For Comic-Con@Home 2020

News, Press Releases

This year has a been a mess for major events. Anything that involved being near other people has been canceled because of the CONVID-19 pandemic. We must all be safe at this time, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun. San Diego’s Comic-Con has decided to offer up a virtual experience this year. No more trying to find a hotel closer to the city than Utah. No more waiting 18 hours to attend the panel to announce the latest mega-movie. Everyone can put on their sweatpants and flip flops to cosplay as Carl from Aquateen Hunger Force. And there will be announcements and panels. Shout! Factory will be a part of the fun with the folks from Mystery Science Theater. Everyone gets the perfect seat in the panel room instead of being trapped behind the guy in the Bullwinkle antler helmet. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory with directions, links and times:
