For the Safety of Geeks Everywhere, Comic-Con 2020 is Cancelled

This was coming. We all knew it was coming. You can't possibly plan an international gathering of like-minded geeks with vendors shipping product across the globe and guests making plans that are concrete-like for airlines and hotels, when the world is practically on fire. To think it would be all clear by July was overly optimistic. We at Idle Hands tip our hats to the producers of Comic-Con for making the hard decisions, and to the readers out there, we hope you'll support your favorite artists, comic creators and vendors, as without the massive income they would bring in from SDCC, they'll need you more than ever.

For the first time in its 50-year history San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC), the organizers behind the annual pop culture celebration, announced today with deep regret that there will be no Comic-Con in 2020. The event will instead return to the San Diego Convention Center from July 22-25, 2021.
