This year’s San Diego Comic-Con does not kick off until July 22.
With coronavirus’s spread reaching almost all parts of the world, organizers of conferences, festivals and other planned large events have either postponed or outright canceled.
Last week, officials with the Emerald City Comic Con convention in Seattle -- an event not organized by Comic-Con International -- made the decision to reschedule its event from March 12 to sometime this summer.
