The 12th edition of Montreal Comiccon has been postponed to next summer

Not even superheroes can overcome the pandemic.

Montreal Comiccon has announced that the 12th edition of the pop culture festival will be postponed to Summer 2021 because of you know what.

“The health and safety of our attendees, guests, volunteers, partners, exhibitors, and employees remain our top priorities,” reads Comiccon’s statement. “We support the measures taken by the government and health authorities to deal with COVID-19 and we hope that together we can overcome this crisis.”

Up until cancellation, Montreal Comiccon hadn’t yet announced its exhibitors, but the weekend festival had traditionally welcomed celebrities, internet personalities, voice actors, video game personnel, artists, wrestlers, musicians, comic book authors and illustrators, and, of course, cosplayers.

Here are a few costumed heroes from last year’s edition at the Palais des congrès to make you miss it a bit more.
