Have you heard that Harley Quinn was ending at #30! Fear not, it just started back up with the new Harley Quinn Rebirth #1.  And to celebrate the relaunch, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti will be coming back to join us for DragonCon 2016!

Are you a fan of GI Joe Comics? Are Wolverine comics in the 90’s some of your very favorites? Then you most definitely are a Larry Hama fan! Let’s welcome Larry Hama to his first DragonCon!

We are sad to announce the cancellation of previously confirmed guest, Gabo Bautista.

This will be the first year that Comics & Pop Art moves to it’s new home!

We are moving from our longtime home of the Hyatt Regency Hotel to our new home at America’s Mart in 2016!

We will now have more space to bring in more artists and writers than ever before. Look for us on the 3rd Floor of America’s Mart Building 2.  Also, our Comics & Pop Art Programming will now be located one floor above on the 4th Floor!
