With Emerald City Comic-Con, WonderCon, and San Diego Comic-con being cancelled this year due to the pandemic, virtual conventions are the next best thing. New York Comic-Con organizers are having a virtual convention called Metaverse. Check out the video below.
Reedpop (the convention organizer which runs New York Comic-Con, Emerald City Comic Con, C2E2, and more) created this virtual “realm” that brings together pop-culture and fandom to your home. Just like SDCC, the August 13 – 16, 2020 event will offer virtual panels and shops where you can catch up on the latest pop-culture and entertainment news and even purchase merch.
“What is the Metaverse, you ask? It is a virtual realm, the sum of all fandoms, delivered by ReedPop, the organizers of Emerald City Comic Con, MCM Comic Con, and more,” reads the description on the Metaverse website. “You’ll encounter one-of-a-kind interactive experiences with your favorite celebs and creators, discover new releases, explore a rich exhibitor marketplace, get access to sweet merchandise, and connect with other fans from across the globe to celebrate all things pop culture.”

You can go to www.findthemetaverse.com, which gives information on the site’s mission, an offer to subscribe to the Metaverse newsletter for discounted merchandise, and a form that will tailor the site to the specific fandoms.
“The ReedPop crew loves running events for you. Building your geek home away from home is the reason we get out of bed in the morning,” continues the description from the Metaverse website. “Since we can’t do that in-person this summer, we’ve worked hard to create a space to bring the fun of our events to you digitally. Throughout the coming months, we’ll be adding new features to bring the experiences you love to the comfort of your home screen.”

The New York Comic-Con organizers hope to fill that void of cancelled conventions these past months. The first virtual event is August 13-16. See you then!
