New York Comic Con 2020 is very different to previous years, but it will still lead to a lot of film, TV, and comic book news. 2020 has been a difficult year for the entertainment industry, which has been significantly affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Some of the biggest fan celebrations have sadly been cancelled, while others have moved online. These have had mixed success, with DC FanDome setting the Gold Standard while San Diego's Comic-Con@Home proved something of a disappointment.

New York Comic Con has gone virtual as well, in a digital event that's been dubbed "Metaverse." It features a schedule of panels on television and film properties, alongside video games, comics, and toy-focused discussions. Organizer Reedpop has made the most of the virtual environment, drawing in a lot of celebrity guests, and fans even have the opportunity to set up digital meet-and-greets with some of the stars. The event runs for four days, featuring everything from Star Trek: Discovery to Doctor Who, and The Boys to Snowpiercer.
