The Pacific Northwest is calling, Popverse reader - that must mean Emerald City Comic Con 2026 is just around the corner! If you'll go ahead and check your calendars, you'll see that Seattle's premiere pop culture convention is indeed just a few days away - being held from March 4-8 at the Seattle Convention Center. If that has lit a fire under your butt to get ready for ECCC, just know you're not alone.

Even now, the Popverse team is getting ready for our first major con of the year.

We're obviously so excited to be rubbing elbows with our PNW-based readers in just over a week's time, but since there's so much to do at ECCC, we thought we'd come up with a handy little guide to help highlight everywhere we'll be. We also threw in a couple FAQs in here just for loyal Popverse readers like you - we hope it makes your Emerald City even more incredible than we know it'll already be.

Who from Popverse will be at ECCC 2026?

Representing Popverse at ECCC, adorned in matching tracksuits (kidding, though I wish), will be Popverse's own Editor Graeme McMillan, joined in an editorial capacity by yours truly, Staff Writer Grant DeArmitt. Coming to the con to produce our signature incredible video interviews and panels are Popverse's cinematic soldatos staff Video Producer Ashley V. Robinson and Video Producer Martin Vavra. This unbeatable onsite team will be joined virtually by Editor-in-Chief Chris Arrrant, Staff Writer Jules Chin-Greene, and Contributing Writers Trent Cannon and Joshua Lapin-Bertone, all working remotely to bring the magic of ECCC to Popverse readers world-wide.

Where can Popverse Superfans hang out at ECCC 2026?

If you're one of the gang that's at ECCC, though, you should already know about the Popverse Superfan Lounge, where Popverse Superfans can enjoy exclusive respite from the bustling convention at any point during its opening hours. Charge your phones, organize your merch, gaze deeply into your celebrity-shaken hands, or just take a minute to relax - more details about the Popverse Superfan Lounge can be found here.

What panels will Popverse be hosting at ECCC 2026?

And finally, we'd be absolutely honored to have you at any of the panels spotlights that the Popverse crew will be hosting this year. From conversations with X-Men titans to a brand new trivia game to, of course, multiple Main Stage events featuring your favorite TV and gaming stars, the Popverse crew is representing our community the ECCC way at all of the unmissable events below.
