Starting Thursday, Oct. 8, the New York Comic Con returns to the Jacob Javits Center for four huge days of star-studded panels, creative cosplay and a sense of fan community.
Just a few of those huge stars dropping into this year’s festivities include Oscar winner Nicolas Cage, Mr. Anakin Skywalker Hayden Christensen, “Josie and the Pussycats” icon Rosario Dawson, “Winter Soldier” star Sebastian Stan and “Game of Thrones”/”House of the Dragon” cast members Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Matt Smith.
Other big names on the bill include Ian McDiarmid, Carrie-Anne Moss, Kyle McLachlan, Matthew Lillard and the legendary auteur Frank Miller.
Plus, “Smallville” vets Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum will be on hand for the long weekend as well.
And, if you’d like to be there, last-minute tickets are still available for this year’s Comic Con.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on four-day passes was $299 including fees on Vivid Seats.
In the event you haven’t attended before, the annual extravaganza isn’t just about seeing the celebs.
Every year, thousands of guests dress up in elaborate, creative costumes that might leave you with your jaw on the floor…and becoming a fan of a fellow fan.
“Walking the floor…was a blast,” Boca Mag raved about the 2025 edition.
“At Comic Con, no one feels out of place. Whether you arrive cloaked in sequins, armor, or imagination, you are welcomed exactly as you are. And that’s the beautiful thing about not just New York Comic Con, but also the city’s energy.”
We’re here to help make that happen, fans.
