San Diego Comic Con 2023 : le (maigre) programme
Après des éditions annulées ou très allégées suite à la pandémie, le San Diego Comic Con / SDCC reprend ses droits en pleine grève des scénaristes. Surtout, la grande vague pop-geek est bel et bien terminée…
Quelle vague me direz-vous ? La hype Marvel et les grandes séries fédératrices comme Supernatural, Big Bang Theory ou The Walking Dead ne sont plus là. Les grandes marques de pop-culture sont désormais moins nombreuses. Il n’y a plus de rassemblements de masse il y a une fragmentation de masse. Tout le monde aura son petit plaisir et le San Diego Comic Con redevient, possiblement, un événement à taille humaine.
Si les scénaristes font la grève, ils peuvent être rejoints, bientôt, par les acteurs et actrices et, à ce titre, ils ne pourront pas venir représenter les œuvres prochaines durant le SDCC. Donc, n’attendez pas la présentation de David Corenswet et Rachel Brosnahan pour Superman Legacy de James Gunn s’ils rejoignent la grève… Marvel et Disney seront absents, car, il faut l’avouer, ils gardent leurs cartouches pour le D23, leur Comic-Con à eux. Et côté Warner, ils n’ont plus grand chose à proposer…
Voici la sélection des panels de cette édition 2023. (l’heure indiquée est celle du Pacific Time, il faut donc rajouter 9 heures)
Le programme complet (anime, comics, autographs, jeux vidéo) est trouvable sur le site officiel du San Diego Comic Con.
