I’ll be the first to say that we all want big conventions back. As we head into the thirteenth month of varying stages of lockdown, with a vaccine rollout that still may seem frustratingly slow despite its increasing pace, and a worrisome rise in cases in the United States, it’s easy to see why fans and organizers are impatient for any sign that things are getting back to normal. And it’s hard to imagine a greater symbol of pre-pandemic life than the prospect of hundreds of thousands of people converging on the San Diego Convention Center for San Diego Comic-Con. Hence CCI’s announcement of an in-person event called Comic-Con Special Edition for Thanksgiving weekend, November 26-28.
