Photos: Long Beach Comic Expo 2020

Since 2010, the Long Beach Comic Expo has been the first big convention for Los Angeles locals. After five consecutive years in February, the convention found itself in January for the first time. The earlier placement didn’t stop comic book fans from packing the Long Beach Convention Center this past weekend for all the excitement.

From the GeekFest Film Fest to the cosplay contest, there was something for everyone. We were on hand to witness some of the wildest cosplay, which you can check out below.

If you missed the event, Long Beach Comic Con will take place at the same venue on September 5 and September 6. Tickets for this event will go on sale in the near future.

There’s also the cosplay contest, which will award the best cosplayers at the event.

Some guests slated to appear at Long Beach Comic Con include actress Aliza Pearl (Ripley Improv, Geek & Sundry), comic book writer Barbara Randall Kesel (Superboy, Legends of the Dark Crystal), and Top Cow President/COO Matt Hawkins.
