For the Fans Fest

About this edition

For the Fans Fest takes place Friday, 16 October 2026 – Sunday, 18 October 2026 at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, Atlantic City, United States.

For more than a decade, the independent comic scene has exploded across social media, building an incredible online community of untapped, unshackled creativity. For The Fans Fest exists to bring that cultural movement off the screen and directly to the fans. Each October we take over Harrah's Resort & Casino in the heart of Atlantic City, New Jersey for a weekend-long celebration of indie comics and collectibles. Our 2026 show runs October 16-18 and features the very first Warlock Comic Awards Banquet, two full days of live streams and panels with the very best in the indie comic book scene, and an exclusive comic and toy convention floor open to all fans. Come party and celebrate with some of the best professionals in the business.
