So yes, there’s another digital edition of SDCC on the horizon, and we all hope it’s the last one. But nevertheless, and while it’s still ‘virtual’, there are a bunch of streaming events, panels, and more coming right along with it. The latest company to join the virtual show is Netflix, who always has a big presence at the event.
This year, the streaming service is set to give fans a look at some of its newest and biggest with Netflix Geeked x Comic-Con@Home. That includes the both hotly anticipated and somewhat divisive Masters of the Universe sequel-series from Kevin Smith.
