We talked about the NYCC Metaverse online replacement from ReedPop yesterday, as well as an online precursor Metaverse 'event' from tomorrow until Sunday 16th, which will no doubt work as a precursor to the larger October event. We also noted that, unlike the Comic-Con@Home replacement for San Diego Comic-Con there will be opportunities to interact with the people being served up on remote video. But it seems that, unlike San Diego, Metaverse will come with a price.
In the comic book side, Friday and Saturday will see a couple of free panels on YouTube.
- FREE: Comic luminaries Tom King, Mitch Gerads and Marguerite Bennett chat about dream projects – Friday, August 14 at 4:20 PM ET / 1:20 PM PT / 9:20 PM BST

But for one-on-one interaction, there will be a cost – $22 for each creator's time and attention for three minutes (just over twelve cents a second) , or two together for $38.50.
