New York Comic-Con, an annual comics convention that has been ongoing since 2006, is the largest pop culture event on the East Coast. Every year, interviews, panels, and celebrity fan meetings have been conducted at the convention. The event covers a wide range of topics including television, film, comics, and toys.
Interestingly, New York Comic Con (NYCC) became the largest comic book convention, surpassing the San Diego Comic-Con. Originally NYCC was scheduled to take place at Javits Center. Owing to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, several fan events are going virtual, the convention’s producer ReedPop announced on Tuesday that the annual fan convention is cancelling its in-person event. They have now partnered with YouTube to stream live panels from October 8 to October 11.
As a result, attendees will no longer be able to engage in panels face-to-face at the convention. However, YouTube Live Chat and Community features will help emulate the Comic-Con experience. The event will also allow for audience-based Q&As.
