Spanning many ages, comic books have long served as an integral part of pop-culture and have gifted us beloved superheroes, anti-heroes, and villains. Onsite, you can walk the exhibition floor and sift through endless comic book titles or shop the many collectible merch, figurines, and art our vendors have to offer. For those looking to make new friends or share their love for comics, programming panels offer friendly discussions on various comic book titles.
To see what’s in store for 2025 and be one of the first to see our guest lineup, sign up for our newsletter here and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and X.
