“But as the traditional comic convention panel grows to the size of an arena concert, it’s obvious there’s room to put the artists on a taller pedestal and engage audiences with a more meaningful experience. “Fans of comics, TV, film, comics, and fandom at large descend on San Diego each year to form a deeper bond with the storytelling they love,” said Polygon’s Senior Entertainment Editor Matt Patches. Session talent, descriptions, and RSVP information will be announced in the coming days.
Polygon’s programming begins Friday afternoon with a series of special-guest interviews in front of a live audience. Programming will take place Friday, July 19th inside TCL Chinese Theatre at the Theatre Box in San Diego’s famed Gaslamp Quarter, just minutes away from the convention center and the epicenter of Comic-Con.
For the first time in Vox Media’s history, Polygon and TCL are teaming up to host on the ground programming during pop culture’s biggest fan event, San Diego Comic-Con 2019.
