Coming Soon
Long Beach Comic Con 2026
Long Beach Comic Con is San Diego's quieter, more accessible cousin — a two-day event where the panels are smaller, the lines are shorter, and the guests are easier to actually reach. September 19–20 at the Convention Center: artists, writers, voice actors, cosplayers, and the collectors who have been waiting all year for this one weekend. If SDCC is the mountain, LBCC is the climb worth making.

Re:Zero Season 4 — Premiere Night SD
Re:Zero Season 4 is here. Subaru's suffering resumes and San Diego's anime fans are gathering to experience it together — which is the only appropriate way to watch this show. Community watch party, big screen, full crowd. If it's a Rem episode, bring backup tissues.

Stan Lee's Los Angeles Comic Con 2026
Three days. Hundreds of exhibitors. Celebrity guests from Marvel, DC, anime, gaming, film. LA Comic Con is the west coast's second-biggest con and the one that feels the most like a party. Artist Alley, gaming hall, cosplay contest, screenings. October in LA. This is the con you go to when SDCC feels too corporate.

Coming Soon
San Diego Anime Con 2026
A hotel con has a different texture than a convention center — the hallways are part of the event, the elevators are part of the event, and at 11pm when the programming ends the lobby becomes its own gathering. San Diego Anime Con fills the DoubleTree Mission Valley November 13-15 with anime, cosplay, gaming, and a community that came specifically to be around people who understand the references. Home by midnight. Worth every minute of it.

Coming Soon
Anime NYC 2026
Anime NYC has become the East Coast's answer to Anime Expo — three days at the Javits Center in November with guests from the US, Japan, and every corner the industry touches. 2026 brings voice actors, mangaka, industry panels, an enormous dealers' hall, and cosplay at the level a city this serious about it produces. If you're on the East Coast, this is the one.

Coming Soon
Fan Expo San Francisco 2026
Fan Expo SF brings comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, and gaming to the Moscone Center for a post-Thanksgiving weekend — celebrity guests, dealers, panels, and the NorCal fan community finally assembled at a convention built for the size of its enthusiasm. November 27–29, 2026: three floors, three days, the Bay Area at full attendance. The weekend after Thanksgiving has a new reason to stay in San Francisco.

Coming Soon
LA Comic Con 2026
LA Comic Con closes out the convention year in December at the Los Angeles Convention Center — three days of comics, cosplay, celebrity guests, gaming, and the particular energy of a city that is more connected to comics and film than anywhere else on earth. The guest list runs deep on TV and film talent, the dealers' room is substantial, and the cosplay is built by people who work in costume and effects professionally. The holiday season makes the atmosphere different. Worth the December trip.

Coming Soon
Anime San Diego Monthly Meetup — December 2026
The last Anime San Diego monthly meetup of the year — end-of-year energy, holiday vibes, and the same low-pressure, high-enthusiasm crowd that shows up every month. New to anime? Been watching for twenty years? Both types belong here. Come in, find your people.
