This year's San Diego Comic-Con has become a virtual event dubbed "Comic-Con@Home," and it's definitely a different beast to what we're used to. Thus far, there's little in the way of "big" panels, and Thursday's schedule is shaping up to be one mostly for hardcore comic book fans.
That's bound to be welcomed by those who feel the event has lost its way in recent years, and seeing as most major film and television panels take place on a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it will be over the next few days that we discover whether the majority of movie studios are joining Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. in deciding to give Comic-Con@Home a miss.
The Thursday, July 23rd schedule is certainly busy, but the only real highlight is The Boys. Each panel will have a YouTube video live at this link on the day for you to check them out.
