Hulu Announces New York Comic Con’s “Metaverse” Panels

Hulu will be hosting panels for Woke, Books of Blood, Monsterland, Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., Animaniacs, and Helstrom during New York Comic Con’s “Metaverse.” With the Covid-19 pandemic still raging, New York Comic Con followed in line with the San Diego Comic-Con and other big pop culture events and has gone virtual this year. More than 250,000 normally attend the annual event held at the Javits Center in New York, and packing that many people together simply isn’t safe during an ongoing pandemic.

Hulu’s panels are spread out over the four-day event which runs Thursday, October 8th through Sunday, October 11th. All panels will be available to stream for free on New York Comic Con’s official YouTube channel and FindTheMetaverse.com.
