A massive comeback for the celebration of cosplay and fandom.

After two years of cancellations, Montreal Comiccon made a major comeback, with over 62,000 fans in attendance at Palais des congrès from July 8 to 10, according to organizers. Aside from the massive exhibition hall, affording an opportunity to buy comics and collectibles, meet artists and stars of sci-fi, superhero, horror, fantasy and other genre films, TV shows, the 12th edition of Montreal Comiccon offered over 100 activities, including conferences, workshops, parties and gaming — not to mention the amazing cosplay, some of which is featured in our cosplay photo gallery.

Congratulations to Montreal Comiccon on a fantastic 2022 edition. We look forward to next year!
