Los Angeles Comic Con (L.A. Comic Con) has traditionally taken place in October around Halloween, but this year it will take place on December 2-4, 2022 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Over 123,000 fans attended Los Angeles Comic Con in 2019. Then the pandemic caused a shutdown of events and gatherings for a couple of years. 2021 saw the return of the L.A. Comic Con, with 94,500 fans in attendance and alterations due to Covid restrictions. This year, look for the event to return back to a normal look with more iconic stars, expanded programming, and panels.
The Main Exhibit Hall and West Hall will host over 800 exhibitors and artists, selling comics, collectibles, art, toys, apparel, and everything in between. Attendees will have the chance to get up close and personal with some of the biggest and best names in the entertainment industry with a handpicked selection of panels, events, costume contests, and meet-and-greet opportunities.
