Tens of thousands of people won’t be descending upon San Diego this summer for the annual Comic-Con International gathering, but the festival is still going ahead as a virtual event with a lineup that includes some heavy hitters.

“We are excited to participate in this year’s Comic-Con@Home with 23 virtual panels across Warner Bros?
