Boston Comic Con Postponed Due To Coronavirus
BOSTON (CBS) – Concerns over the coronavirus have forced the ACE Comic Con in Boston to be postponed.
The fan event was scheduled to be held March 20-22 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
ACE Comic Con said after the state of emergency was declared in Massachusetts, "running the event at its regularly scheduled date/time is not possible due to 'force majeure.'"
