Bakersfield Comic-Con 2024

Nov 23 – Nov 24, 2024 Kern County Fair Grounds, Bakersfi…

You can spot the real ones by how they walk a room. Slow, hands behind the back, scanning a table of collectibles the way other people read a menu. That pace is the entire pleasure of a convention that never got big enough to become a logistics problem. The fairgrounds fill with comics, costumes, and the specific kind of vendor who will talk to you for twenty minutes about a character nobody else at the table has heard of. Cosplayers pose in the aisles without a handler managing a line. The celebrity guests actually look up. Panels happen in rooms you walk into rather than queue for, and the gaming runs off to one side for anyone who wants to sit down and play instead of shuffle past. Kern County Fair Grounds, Bakersfield, one hall holding all of it. Send it to the friend who says conventions stopped being fun once they got too crowded.

San Diego International Comic Con

Jul 25 – Jul 28, 2024 San Diego International Comic Con …

Downtown stops being an office district and becomes a place where a stranger in full armor holds the crosswalk button for a family with strollers, and nobody finds it remarkable. That is the part people who have never gone do not understand — this is not a trade show. It is the week when the thing you love in private becomes the default language on the street. Comics are still the spine of it, but the floor spilled long ago into movies, television, gaming, and interactive work that did not have a name when this started. The convention center downtown holds the official version; the sidewalks, the hotel lobbies and the lines hold the rest, and the lines are where people actually meet each other. Go with the person you have been explaining your favorite series to for years, and let them find out there are thousands more.

RocketTown Comic Con 2024

May 4 – May 5, 2024 Lompoc Valley Middle School, Lompo…

The first convention anybody goes to is almost never the big one. It is a folding table in a school gym, a longbox somebody drove in with, and a kid in a homemade cape meeting another kid in a homemade cape for the first time in their life. Lompoc gets one day of that. The middle school opens its doors and turns into a comics and gaming show, and for a lot of kids on this stretch of coast it is the first time the thing they love has an actual address instead of just a group chat. Small-town cons are where the habit starts. Nobody is being processed through a queue. You can genuinely talk to the people who make the things. Family-friendly is not a marketing line here, it is a description of the room, because half the room is somebody's family. A school gym, one Saturday, comics and pop culture and gaming under one roof. Take the kid who has been reading alone. Let them find out they are not the only one.

Purim Comic Con

Mar 24, 2024 Chabad Santa Monica, 1428 17th StS…

Every other holiday asks you to dress up nicely. This one asks you to dress up as somebody else entirely — masks, costumes, the whole story turning on the fact that identity gets scrambled for a day. Which makes the comic book crossover far less of a gimmick than it first sounds. So the costume contest here contains multitudes: a kid dressed as Queen Esther standing next to a kid in a superhero cape, and both of them are exactly correct. There are family activities, holiday-themed entertainment, groggers going off at the right moments, and the specific joy of grown adults who committed way too hard to a bit. It happens at Chabad of Santa Monica, on 17th Street. Bring the kids and let them pick the costume without editorial input. That is the tradition, and you were never going to win that argument anyway.
