Ottawa ComicCon

Over 40,000 enthusiastic sci-fi, horror, anime, gaming and comic book fans from Canada and abroad will converge at the EY Centre for the seventh edition of the Ottawa Comiccon. The epic pop culture convention has become one of the nation’s capital most talked-about events, where visitors rub shoulders with an ever-growing roster of celebrity guests from various entertainment fields.

In addition to meeting celebrities, visitors will roam the Comiccon’s 100,000 square-feet expo hall, a collector’s paradise packed with retailers specialized in comic books, graphic novels, manga, toys, videogames, and costumes; and to peruse the imaginative Artists Alley, where they will discover and acquire original art by famous and emerging creators from the worlds of comics, manga, and fantasy illustration.

There can be no Comiccon without cosplay, the fine art of disguising oneself in the flamboyant costumes of famous super heroes and Japanese manga and anime characters. Inspired cosplay aficionados will have the opportunity to showcase their own creations at the popular annual Masquerade, a costume contest that will take place on Saturday, in front of industry judges.

Ottawa Comiccon will present over 75 entertainment activities for the whole family over the course of three days. The event’s calendar is packed with panels, workshops, improv shows, board game tournaments, film screenings, celebrity autograph sessions, photo ops, and much more. Additional comic book artists, celebrity guests, and activities will be revealed in the weeks leading up to the event.
