California Comic Convention 2026 — Anaheim

You found this. Be the first one here.

You have stood in a long line to ask a question and never gotten to ask it. That is the thing a mid-size convention quietly fixes.

The room is small enough to talk to the artist. The panels are small enough that your hand actually gets called on. The vendor floor is curated rather than endless, which means you will find the independent comic nobody is covering yet instead of losing it in an aisle of licensed merchandise. Cosplay contests, workshops, and creators who are accessible because this is the right size room for a real conversation about the work. Everybody here came because they care about this, not because a studio bought the banner.

Two days at the DoubleTree in Anaheim, with tickets at the door or in advance online.

Send it to the friend who reads the credits and follows the creator, never the franchise.
