SAN DIEGO, Calif. – San Diego Comic-Con will remain virtual for the July event, but organizers are planning for a smaller-scale gathering later this year.

Comic-Con announced Monday the annual confab will return to virtual for a second-straight year between July 23-25. The in-person experience was canceled again because of coronavirus-related cautions around large gatherings.
