THANK YOU, VERNON!
What an unforgettable day at the Vernon Comic Con 2026! We absolutely loved seeing the joy—young and old—on every face. The excitement, the wonder, the pure glee… it’s what this is all about. From longtime collectors finding that one piece from their childhood, to new fans discovering something awesome for the very first time—those moments mean everything.

It truly takes a village to bring an event like this to life. A HUGE thank you to our superhero sponsors for believing in the vision, and to our incredible team and crew who went above and beyond the call of duty to make the magic happen.

And most importantly… THANK YOU to YOU.
You made this day so special. Seeing families, friends, and fans come together in a fun, safe, and welcoming space fills our hearts more than we can say.

We’ll see you again on the first Saturday of May 2027!
But before that…

Until next time… keep celebrating what you love!
