Are you a fan of pop culture, comics, graphic novels, anime, video games, cosplay and Marvel superheroes? Then Comic Con is for you!
Comic Con events started life in the US, most notably in New York City during the 1960s as relatively small events run by comic enthusiasts, and grew into big comic conventions from the 1970s. Today, Comic Con events are a big business and take place all over the US and the world with major Comic con events happening annually in New York, San Diego and cities across the US, as well as across Europe, Japan and South America.
Comic con events are excellent places to meet with your favourite creators, authors, artists and special guests covering virtually all pop culture genres. Comic Con events are also places to network, meet and cosplay with other comic con fans - and get your hands on some fantastic merch!
New York Comic Con has been running since 2006 - is the largest pop culture convention on the East Coast and is dedicated to comics, anime, graphic novels, manga, cosplay, movies and TV. While not affiliated with the long-running San Diego Comic Con, New York Comic Con has hosted the Eastern Championships for Cosplay since 2014 and has received many special guests. New York Comic Con also has rooms that screen premieres of films before they're commercially released. This year, NYCC's Cosplay Central hits the River Pavilion again, which is dedicated to all cosplayers and all things cosplay and includes workshops, demos and more.
Whether it's your first time at a Comic Con event or not, you'll be in awe at all that's on offer, not to mention being part of our fan-tastic, diverse and creative community of Comic Con fans from all over. Check out what's on, get your cosplay on and get down!
Please note: Comic Con events are not free - check local prices.
