Los Angeles Comic Con, L.A.’s largest event for comics, gaming, sci-fi, and pop culture, just concluded an epic three-day event in the most diverse and immersive show in the event’s 12-year history. From December 1st through 3rd, L.A. Comic Con welcomed 122,300+ attendees, with over 1,000 artists and vendors gathered together to share their work with fans, including 400+ artists in the largest Artist Alley at any U.S. Con. In addition, over 250 panels and programming ran all weekend to celebrate the sensational talent behind some of the most beloved and iconic works in comics, gaming, anime, and pop culture.
Cosplay is a significant aspect of Comic Conventions, and L.A. Comic Con is no exception. Many attendees put much effort into creating intricate costumes, adding to the atmosphere. The Cosplay contests and photo opportunities are a blast!
The exhibition floor is filled with vendors and exhibitors offering unique merchandising, such as collectibles, artwork, comics, and exclusive items, to name a few. For fans and collectors, this is for you!
The convention creates a sense of community among fans who share similar interests. Whether you’re a comic book enthusiast, a movie buff, or a gamer, you’ll likely find like-minded individuals to connect with. Sharing a passion and meeting new people are the highlights of Comic Con.
L.A. Comic Con offers a diverse range of content, covering not just comics but also movies, T.V. shows, video games, and more. This diversity allows attendees with various interests to find something they enjoy.
The Geek Fest Film Festival was in attendance at L.A. Comic Con and is the number one film festival for science fiction, horror, fantasy, action, fan film shorts, and web series. In their first ten years, they’ve programmed at over 75 comic cons across North America, over 6.5 million congoers have seen the GeekFest Film Fest brand on the Exhibition Floor, and tens of thousands have attended GeekFest Screenings and Panels. Distribution and Licensing opportunities for horror and science fiction content in all short categories! The GeekFest Film Fest is different from any other Comic Con Film Festival worldwide because there is one entry fee and multiple stops on the 2024 con circuit.
I couldn’t go further without injecting some horror into this article. The GeekFest Film Fest (Los Angeles Premiered) Devanny Pinn’s The Black Mass this past Saturday, and the fest also hosted a panel, “Woman in Horror,” moderated by Vera Vanguard and featuring panelists Devanny Pinn, Michelle Ramano, Sarah Nicklin, and Jackie Dallas. There was also a free signing with the cast of The Black Mass before the showing, and it was a blast. People of all ages flocked to the table to get a glimpse of some Hollywood talent!
L.A. Comic Con 2023
Horror conventions and Comic Cons share some similarities, as they are both fan conventions that bring together enthusiasts of specific genres. However, they focus on different themes and elements of popular culture, resulting in some key differences. However, there is some overlap in the fanbase, which is precisely why I was able to find my footing at L.A. Comic Con. My first time attending this convention, I will now add it to my list of repeat cons I will travel to yearly; it truly has something for everyone.
After three years of a December show, L.A. Comic Con is moving in 2024 to October 4th through the 6th. Remember to mark your calendars; it will be here before you know it.
