As previously announced, due to COVID-19, this year’s WonderCon will again be held virtually as another edition of WonderCon@Home. The online event will take place Friday, March 26 and Saturday, March 27, 2021.
Comic-Con International has released the Exhibitor List for WonderCon@Home 2021, which features 200+ participating companies. They will be continue to add more companies to the list through Friday. The online Exhibit Hall is divided into four sub-sections: Artists’ Alley, Exhibitors, Fan Tables, and Small Press.
[UPDATE 3/26/2021] You can also access the online Exhibit Hall via the WonderCon Eventeny page by clicking on the Marketplace tab.
CCI already released the Programming schedule on March 11, 2021, which you can access here. Programming consists not only of pre-recorded panels, but also includes games, which you can participate in via Discord, as well as watch parties for various films and anime (though you’ll need your own subscription to certain streaming services to join the watch parties).
Below are some panel highlights from the Programming schedule. As mentioned before, these are all pre-recorded, not live. When it says a panel is at a certain time, that is when the video first becomes available on Comic-Con International’s YouTube channel. As such, you do not have to watch it at the scheduled time, but can watch it at your own convenience. So if you see some schedule conflicts, that’s not a problem like it would be if the event were being held in person, because you can watch one right away, and another one later!
