NEO ComicCon

06/02/2026

NEO ComicCon returns on August 2nd at the Soccer Sportsplex in North Olmsted, OH.

Every year we pack two indoor soccer fields full of comics and pop culture collectibles. We'll have over 180 dealer tables, and 120 of those tables will belong to comic book vendors, with specialists bringing everything from Golden Age to Modern comics, superhero to SF, horror to humor, and anything else you might imagine.

We'll also have 60 tabes of artists and pop culture crafts, selected from the very best the region has to offer. We'll have veterans from the comic industry and people who have just created their first published comic, as well as all kinds of makers and craftspeople.

Once again, we'll have one of the best cosplay contests around, with prizes in numerous categories and a chance for everyone to unleash their inner hero.

Super Heroes to Kids in Ohio will be on hand, and we can't wait to introduce you to all the amazing work they do.

As always, our ticket price is STILL ONLY $5, and children under ten are free. Parking is also free, and we provide a shuttle that runs every 10 minutes so you can avoid the parking lot, which can be a bit of a challenge.

If you have a chance, please like and share this post, and we sincerely hope you'll join us on August 2nd in North Olmsted! If you have a chance, please like and share this post.

We are pleased to announce that Super Heroes to Kids in Ohio is returning once again as our charity partner. We couldn't ask for a better group of people with which to work, and we look forward to seeing what heroes (and villains!) they bring to the show this year.

Super Heroes to Kids in Ohio spreads goodwill through simple acts of kindness, recognizes individuals who have battled through adversity, and encourages the involvement of the community to make a positive difference in the lives of others. They make costumed visits to children’s hospitals, special needs centers, and various charitable events whenever they are needed.

Every year, NEO ComicCon organizes two raffle tables full of prizes, all of which are generously donated by our vendors and artists. This genorosity is only matched by our amazing patrons, who have set donation records two years in a row. We always say that participating in this raffle is the easist way to be a hero, and we have no doubt that everyone will rise to the occassion again.

NEO ComicCon happens on August 2nd at the Soccer Sportsplex in North Olmsted, OH. Tickets are still only $5, and children 10 and under are admitted for free. All proceeds from the raffle go directly to Super Heroes to Kids in Ohio.

Here's a sneak preview of this year's convention ad. It's arrival always makes us a little giddy. Is it the hi-ya noise? Is it all the glimpses of good memories from the previous shows? The graphics, the guests, the vendors???

Whatever it is, be sure to give the commercial a watch, look for yourself in the crowd, and start making your plans for August 2nd at the Soccer Sportsplex in North Olmsted, OH. As always, our admission is still only $5, parking is free, and we'll have more actual, real-to-life, honest-to-goodness comic books than any other show in Ohio.

Every year, we highlight the local shops who graciously display our fliers and posters at the biggest and best comic event of the year, Free Comic Book Day.

Well, after about six weeks, we’ve finally reached the end of our previews, and luckily for us, we get to complete the journey at our home base, Comics Are Go.

Included in this post are a bunch of pictures of the shop, where we’ve been rearranging things mightily for the last few weeks, adding in some vintage posters and paperbacks. We’ve also added a bunch of new books to the wall, leaving room for a few more things we’ll try to price tonight…you know, in all our spare time!

Tomorrow for Free Comic Book Day, we’ll have the complete slate of books available (you can see where they’ll be in the last picture on this post!) Our guests this year are Rick Lozano and Dan Gorman, and we’ll have pre-sale tickets available for the convention, along with your first chance to grab one of our new shirts. Every shirt comes with a free ticket to the con!

Mostly, though, we’re looking forward to seeing our friends and family on the biggest day of the year, and we’re hoping to see new faces who would like to experience the world of comics and pop culture. Please, if you can, find your local shop and stop in to say hello. It’s a great time for all of us to support each other.

On a personal note, I’d like to say how lucky I feel to be able to visit so many amazing shops. Our communities are better for the presence of comic book stores, which provide their customers with a vital chance to dream about a world of heroes and adventure and to imagine the sort of meaningful life we all long for. To see all the hard work that these shops do to provide that experience is an inspiration to us all. Thanks for all you do, and for making our fliers available to your customers.

Be on the lookout for our posters, which will be appearing soon. NEO ComicCon takes place on Aug 2nd at the Soccer Sportsplex in North Olmsted.

Every year, we highlight the local shops who graciously display our fliers and posters at the biggest and best comic event of the year, Free Comic Book Day.

There are local comic book institutions and then there is Carol and John’s, which has been at the epicenter of the Cleveland comic community for three decades. And, honestly, that’s one of the things that sets CNJ’s apart; that attention to establishing a family of fandom has been a huge part of their success, along with amazing back issues and a continuing dedication to providing great service for their file customers. And, their approach to Free Comic Book Day has become the industry standard for the event, with stores across the nation emulating their model.

So, obviously, Carol and John’s will be participating in FCBD, which happens on May 2nd this year. They have a whole slew of special events, so be sure to check in for specific details, and while you’re there, grab some fliers for NEO ComicCon, taking place on Aug 2nd at the Soccer Sportsplex in North Olmsted.
