Panels, Workshops, and More!
Love learning about the behind-the-scenes of your favorite shows, movies, and comics? You’ll find plenty of panels and Q&A sessions at Comiccon. These panels dive deep into everything from how to break into the comics industry to the making of your favorite blockbuster films. It’s a great opportunity to hear directly from creators, actors, and writers. Not to mention, there are usually some hilarious behind-the-scenes stories and fan moments shared that you won’t hear anywhere else!
For the artists and aspiring creators among us, the workshops offer a unique opportunity to learn skills like 3D printing, prop-making, and comic book illustration. So whether you’re a cosplayer or just curious about how those mind-blowing props are made, there’s a workshop for you.
Artists’ Alley and Exhibitors
A personal favorite of mine is Artists’ Alley, where you’ll find a treasure trove of independent artists showcasing their art, comics, and fandom-inspired goodies. Support local and indie creators and bring home some nerdy swag! Plus, the exhibitor floor is jam-packed with vendors selling everything from collectible action figures to rare comic books. It’s the perfect place to pick up some rad new geek apparel too. You can find me vending my geek-centric jewellery at kiosk #207!
Gaming Zones and Tournaments
If gaming is more your speed, the gaming zones are not to be missed. Comiccon always features dedicated spaces for tabletop games, card games, and video games, often with tournaments running throughout the weekend. Whether you're a seasoned D&D dungeon master or just dipping your toes into Magic: The Gathering, there are plenty of opportunities to roll some dice or pick up a controller!
Getting Ready for the Show
Pro tip: Make sure to plan ahead! Get your tickets early to avoid the rush, and if you want to meet one of the celebrity guests. Also, bring comfortable shoes! You’ll be doing a lot of walking, especially if you plan on spending time browsing all the booths.
With all of this and more, Quebec City Comiccon 2024 is going to be a blast. Whether you're going for the celeb panels, to compete in the cosplay contest, or just to soak in the atmosphere, it’s the perfect weekend for anyone who lives and breathes pop culture. So mark your calendars for October 12-13 and get ready to geek out with me!
