Today is a bittersweet day for pop culture fans as it marks the beginning of the first Comic-Con@Home virtual event. Today fans should be flocking to the San Diego convention centre for the first day of SDCC 2020 but with social distancing measures still in effect the convention has moved online.
Panels today include GeekED talks on re-imagining creative privilege, the power of teamwork in children’s comics and a celebration of 15 years of Eisner librarians.
