Chicago has hosted major comic conventions for decades, and now the city is about to welcome back its biggest show - C2E2. With this year's April 26 - 28 event fast approaching, C2E2 organizers ReedPop (which Popverse is owned by) has begun revealing details on the exhibitors you (and we at Popverse!) can expect this year at the McCormick Place.

The major centerpieces of this year's C2E2 2024 appear to be the highly-anticipated Funko booth, as well as that of toy manufacturer Bandai Co. Ltd. They'll be joind by comic publishers Silver Sprocket and Twisted Comics, top comic grading services CGS and CBCS, exquisite watchmaker Citizen, the fine fellows of the National Cartoonist SOciety, and the beloved comics non-profit Hero Initiative.

Look for more C2E2 2024 exhibitor announcements, as well as the Artist Alley line-up an dpanel schedules, to be announced in the coming weeks.

For a full list of exhibitors (with more being added each week!), visit the C2e2 website.
