The L.A. Comic Con 2026 took place from October 30 to November 1 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This event brought together tens of thousands of fans for a massive celebration of comics, gaming, cosplay, anime, and pop culture.
Falling right over Halloween weekend, they added spooky attractions to the traditional pop culture programming including indoor trick-or-treating for kids and festive after-parties. The convention floor boasted a massive footprint with over 800 exhibitors and a sprawling Artists Alley. The alley played host to local talent, a variety of Indie artists and names such as Scott Snyder, Mark Waid, and Ryan Ottley.
The convention featured a wonderful celebrity lineup with some crowd drawing names such as Nicolas Cage, Hayden Christensen, Rosario Dawson, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Christopher Lloyd and Krysten Ritter. There was a also cast reunion of Breaking Bad featuring Aaron Paul, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, and Dean Norri
The weekend had no end to activities with over 200 panels and live stage events and the newly expanded Gaming Hall offered tabletop tournaments, esports activations, and interactive brand setups, such as Toyota’s playable Nintendo Switch vehicle experience.
