Explore Experience
The 2022 Comic-Con was a huge success for all involved! With 9,000 in attendance, it was the biggest year yet and FULL of costumes from all different genres, comics, movies, animes—you name it. Most importantly, the canned food drive for Diakonia Inc brought in an incredible amount of donations!
The entire convention center was packed with vendors including the new additions in the back. Everywhere you looked was something else to marvel at. The 501st Old Line Garrison, a myriad of working droids, beautiful artwork from talented artists, and so much more. Plus, you could shop for unique items you can’t find anywhere else—so many vintage toys, games, and video games.
There were very interesting panels throughout the day with topics for everyone and demonstrations like stunning live 3D printing. The attending guests were a big hit like the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.
If you got hungry while being there all day, the convention center cuisine was delicious and a great idea for those taking their time to browse.
Overall, the sense of community among attendees of all ages was an awesome sight to see and we’re looking forward to an even greater turnout next year!
