Marvel has revealed its panel schedule for Comic-Con@Home. San Diego Comic-Con is just one of many events that was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, a digital edition of the event is being held later this month. Marvel will be part of the festivities with three panels. Have a look.
Marvel Comic-Con@Home Panel Information
Disney+ / Marvel’s 616 : Thursday, July 23, 1:00 PM PT
Marvel’s 616 explores how Marvel’s rich legacy of stories, characters and creators exist within the “world outside your window.” Each documentary, helmed by a unique filmmaker, explores the intersections of storytelling, pop culture and fandom within the Marvel Universe.

This is the destination for all our young Marvel fans (and their families)!

Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing: Friday, July 24, 11:00 AM PST
Join Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski as he breaks down all the latest and greatest coming from the House of Ideas with some of Marvel’s most epic creators! Tom Brevoort, Al Ewing and Dan Slott will dive into the cosmic calamity coming to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in the pages of EMPYRE! An army is gathering in the latest X-Men crossover event, X OF SWORDS, and Jordan White, Tini Howard and Gerry Duggan have all the juicy details! Nick Lowe, Nick Spencer and Mark Bagley will discuss the landmark AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #850 ushering in the return of the Green Goblin! Plus Nick Lowe rejoins the panel to discuss the return of the classic Marvel character, Werewolf by Night, with creators Taboo and Ben Jackendoff!! Be there, True Believers!
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the panel selection is that Marvel Studios will not have a presence at the event. During last year’s SDCC, Marvel brought down the house by revealing its Phase 4 slate. It also included the surprise reveal of a Blade reboot. Unfortunately, we are going to have to wait a little longer for another splashy announcement from Kevin Feige and Co.
On the other side, DC is holding its own event in August. DC FanDome was recently announced and it will include a wide variety of programming. Future movie, TV and comic book projects, as well as video games, will be revealed. This means DC will likely have a minimal presence during Comic-Con@Home as well.
Comic-Con@Home kicks off Wednesday, July 22 and runs through Sunday, July 26.
So what do you think? Which of these panels are you most excited for? Will you be tuning in for SDCC’s virtual event? Join in on the conversation over on Facebook or Twitter!
