Los Angeles’ ultimate destination for comics, gaming, cosplay, anime, and pop culture returns for its biggest year yet!
It’s almost here! The 2025 L.A. Comic Con (LACC) begins next week, running Friday, September 26th through Sunday, September 28th at the stunning Los Angeles Convention Center. This year’s lineup, top-to-bottom, looks to be a jam-packed with guests, programming, cosplay, gaming, and so much more! The 2025 show is going to be the perfect convention to kickoff this Fall season with three (3) packed days of everything you love about comics, anime, fandom cosplay and pop culture – all under one roof!
Yours truly, Jason Bennett, will be on-site during the show, covering the event like I have at PopCultHQ for Comics Bodega, LACC, and most importantly…you!
Do you know my favorite part of cons? The comic book creators! From amateurs to professionals, there’s going to be so many talented individuals in the industry to meet, get autographs, snap some selfies, and purchase items direct from the creators’ themselves!
This year, Artist Alley is packed with your favorite creators and artists – so much so you might need a three-day pass just to see them all and take in all of what LACC has to offer!
Take a look at Artists & Creator Guests appearing at this year’s con! (you can swipe right or left or use the arrows) ***
