Comiccon, the biggest celebration of pop culture in Montreal, is about to get even bigger.
Setting record attendance records last year, Comiccon 2024 is sure to attract more visitors this July thanks to a stellar line-up that includes one of Canada’s national treasures: Kevin Smith.
Best known for his films Clerks (1994), which he wrote, directed, and co-produced, Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997), Dogma (1999), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), Clerks II (2006), Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019), and Clerks III (2022), Kevin Smith will be in Old Montreal for one day only.
Visiting Montreal Comiccon to meet fans, sign autographs, participate in photo ops, Smith will also take the stage for a special event, "An Evening with Kevin Smith: Silent Bob Turns 30".
Established in 2009, Montreal Comiccon has become a premier multi-genre pop culture convention.
Celebrating the best in comic books, sci-fi, horror, manga/anime, toys, movies, video games, and the broader entertainment universe, the event has grown from a modest gathering of a few hundred attendees, to attracting over 65,000 visitors, making it one of Montreal's most anticipated annual events.
Expect a vast exhibit hall, an artist alley, corporate and interactive booths, guest panels, film screenings, celebrity autograph and photo sessions, a costume contest and masquerade, and countless activities for pop culture enthusiasts of all ages.
The Artist Alley will feature creators Aislin (Montreal cartoonist), Blend Cota (Assassin’s Creed Art), Ken Lashley (Excalibur, X-Caliber: Age of Apocalypse, Black Panther), Patrick Blanchette (Aube du monde des rêves), Jason Loo (Afterlift, The Sentry, Werewolf By Night: Blood Hunt), Jed MacKay (Avengers, Moon Knight, X-Men), Karl Kerschl (Gotham Academy, ISOLA, Death Transit Tanger) & Mel Gosselin (Cétacia, Jacky Salaberry, Rôdeur Mortel).
