Get those cosplay jammies ready and your spot on the couch nice and comfy because Comic-Con @Home starts tomorrow, July 22, with hundreds of panels celebrating all things television, movies, gaming and yes, even comics. The coronavirus might have forced the event online this year, but the organizers are still touting excitement for fans including the usual teasers, trailers and preview tidbits that turned the IRL event into a cultural juggernaut that not only transcended its nerdy roots, but became a driving force in the business of entertainment. At press time, word is that some panels will be live and some prerecorded. For the latest, fans are encouraged to subscribe to Comic-Con’s official YouTube channel, and to sign up for notifications.

Oh, and if you’ll be missing all the Disney, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc. costumed crowds there is an online option for that too. Comic-Con’s official Tumblr page will host its annual masquerade contests (you can see the entries starting July 23) and winners will be announced online on July 24. Our panel picks below:
