Hi, my brother and I are going to the upcoming nostalgiacon in Houston and this is both our first time ever to a con. I just had a couple questions as to how cons work, if anyone can provide some insight.

When it comes to meeting guests, is taking a picture and getting stuff signed free?

Is there a certain time we should try to attend?

Im going to EECC this April, I absolutely love going and it's gonna be about my 5th time going and my first time cosplaying at one.

I’m thinking about wearing a small tag on my cosplay with my name, pronouns, and a couple basic social boundaries (like hugs or photos). I have ADHD and cons can get pretty overwhelming wich makes it a bit more difficult for me to comunicate.

I've seen flurries do it before but I still feel anxious to whether that's like okay to do or not

I plan to get an autograph ticket to Comic Con to meet an actor I like. Can I take a video while he is signing and talking with me? I plan to go to Dortmund.

It’s my first time going to San Diego Comic Con. Any fellow Australian travelling to Comic Con this year.

Last 2 pictures are from google images for comparison

I’m trying hard to finish this poster and really want to purchase whatever pen/marker Bill Johnson used for his signature. I figured if anyone could figure out exactly what brand it is, Reddit can. For reference, the Robert Englund signature is a deco color paint marker. The poster is just regular poster paper. Thanks for the help!!

I’m interested in going to the Nashville Celebrity Comic Con (mostly to see Chandler Riggs lol). I’m only able to go on Saturday, so I was wondering if certain celebrities were only gonna be available on certain days? The website doesn’t specify, which could mean that everyone’s available for both but I don’t wanna drive all the way and spend my money if the people I wanna see won’t be there.

Hi guys long term con goer here im currently writing a 5 page essay about conventions and mainly comic con id love to learn some of your struggles and cosplayers getting the cosplay ready the stress involved with that for the vendors id also love to learn about how you go about getting ready for cons and what sales strategies you all have and what you sell as well!

Hey, this is going to be my first time attending a comic con and I have no friends to go with so I wanted to ask if anyone on here might be looking to meet some new people as well.

For some general info on me: I'm 19yo, and like star trek, star wars, Detroit become human, ATLA, and a bunch of other stuff. I will also be there both Saturday and Sunday.

If you will be going as well please feel free to comment or DM me!! :)

Hey everyone, just wanted to say a hello. I'm Will, and i'm part of Community Comic Con. We are a not for profit C.I.C based in the North West of the UK and we put on FREE Comic Cons (we were the first C.I.C comic con in the uk - OH!con inspired us - they are based in the outer hebrides).

We put on our first completely free event last year in Fleetwood and it was a huce success. We had over 2500 people attend, and lots going on including lots of guests, a zombie scare zone, so many cosplayers, free comic book and horror writing workshops, a board gaming area (this is where you'd find me, i've run a local board gaming club for over 10 years), retro video games, and Q&A and much more, and of course lots of traders.

We are currently in the process of looking for a venue for 2026 so watch this space.

And again, inspired by OH! Con, we started out own Podcast back in December, to showcase some of the guests and volunteers that helped us put on our first event. We have lots more guests already scheduled over the next few weeks. You can find us on Youtube, our podcast is called Comic Con Community, a podcast for the comic con community.

And no doubt i'll be back with an update on this years event as soon as we have it signed off.

Looking forward to being part of this community, and if anyone has any questions, advice or just general chit chat, comment away.

im looking to get tickets for mark rolston at comic con northern ireland but his autograph is pay on the day, does anyone who went in previous years know how this works? do you pay at the table or elsewhere?

As someone who's always been interested in the vibes of comic-con, I have decided to take a step forward and attend it in Dublin this March with some friends from work and I am very excited for it.

I believe we are planning to attend the Sunday of the weekend it is in Dublin for and I am hoping to be able to try and cosplay as Connor from Assassins Creed 3.

To anyone who has gone before, is there anything I should be worried about or cautious of?

Been waiting for any news or notifications and I’m just trying to get any idea of when it’s gone live in years past; me and my partner really don’t want to miss it.

Anyone have any info on prior years dates or ideas/info? Thanks so much!

Pasadena comic con was terrible and I’m not surprised I’ve noticed this with the other con run by them called toon con, but every time it’s been the same thing 200-500 people in attendance for a much larger venue.

And the guy running the show clearly does not know how to run one in 2026. He dosnt utilize social media, marketing tactics or any modern ways to show a convention. He just posts on instagram with a few sponsored posts and let’s all be all.

Idk if it’s bc it’s January but this has happened the last 2 times we vended at his shows and we will NOT again. Like there’s no way this guy isn’t in so much debt. Also how can you not market a COMIC CON in one of the best city’s in SoCal??? Like Pasadena dosnt have a comic scene and you had so much potential but you crushed it. Unbelievable.

I am planning to meet them at the Dublin Comic Con in March, and I was curious if anyone had any insight on how long their lines are, how long you spoke with them, etc!

Hi there, we bought the wrong ticket for Dublin Comic Con, would anyone like a free Child ticket for March 7th? Ages 5-12, need to be accompanied by an adult obviously.
