Comic Con Is Going Virtual This Year, Will Still Have Plenty of Comedy Panels, and Will Be Free

Justin Roiland’s Latest Series “Solar Opposites” Gets a Teaser

Hulu Orders Two Seasons of Extraterrestrial Family Animated Comedy “Solar Opposites” from Rick and Morty’s Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan

Something the size of world famous, annual San Diego Comic-Con obviously isn’t going to happen this year due to the pandemic. However, rather than just outright postponing, Comic-Con is going to try for virtual editions of their renowned panels that reveal insider info and details from creators and talent of movies, TV, comic-books, etc.

They’re calling it Comic-Con@Home and it’ll stream from Jul. 22nd-26th and, best of all, it’ll be free (or maybe not waiting to get into Hall H is better?). This virtual edition of SDCC will include panel discussion from What We Do In the Shadows, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, Solar Opposites, Robot Chicken, Archer, Crossing Swords, Duncanville, Upload, The Boys, Superstore, Adventure Time, Infinity Train, Phineas and Ferb, Bless the Harts, American Dad!, Family Guy, Looney Tunes, and Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Look through the entire Comic-Con@Home schedule and get details on how to stream all of these events here.

While you’re waiting for new episodes of Rick & Morty, well, actually, while you’re waiting for a lot of stuff to get back to the way they were, it’s nice to know that Rick & Morty co-creator Justin Roiland has a new animated series on the way, Solar Opposites, coming to Hulu.

In fact, Solar Opposites doesn’t seem to be all that far off from Rick & Morty (maybe living in one of the other universes within the Rick & Morty-verse). It follows an alien family trying they best they can to acclimatize to earth, but, of course, dealing with all the sorts of chaos Roiland has founded his entire career on. Intergalactic warfare, zombie outbreaks, a plethora of jauntily named fictional creatures, and plenty of family squabbling are all part of this new show.

See all of that and enjoy the teaser here, then look for the series premiere of Solar Opposites on Hulu, starting May 8th (even though we’ll probably be let out of our houses at that point).

Hulu Orders Two Seasons of Extraterrestrial Family Animated Comedy “Solar Opposites” from Rick and Morty’s Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan

When it comes to adult animation with a intergalactic/interdimensional setting, Justin Roiland might just have cornered the market.

This latest series order by Hulu from Roiland and Rick and Morty writer/EP Mike McMahan will follow an alien family taking refuge on Earth from “better planet”. That seems right in their wheelhouse and, as an added bonus, the sweet voice of the hilarious Mary Mack will be behind one of the characters.

Please note that you’ve got around two years before this comes out. Good thing there’s a bunch of Rick and Morty coming up to keep you satisfied in the meantime.
