Every show has so much to offer! The Northeast Comic Con is not just a convention for any… one type of collector, it is an eclectic mix of your favorite childhood memories and stars, to live rock concerts and stand up comedy shows. This is not to mention the 100s of vendors, authors, artists – many being the best of the best! Held at the Boxboro Regency Hotel and Convention Center, you can get a fairly priced room and stay right at the Comic Con so as not to miss a moment of all day (into the night) events! We loved the after-parties, sitting at the same table with celebrities, watching and participating in karaoke with them, so much fun. TIPS – If you do stay, the hotel food is bit expensive, so either bring your own or order out. The rooms are not 4 star, and many need to be updated; every room I’ve stayed in has been clean, and if I needed anything the hotel staff was quick to respond. There is a heated pool for hotel guests, and 2 bars – one of which is located just right next to where the concerts happen. Ask Questions! Ask the staff what and when things are going on, and what not to miss! Things happen all day, and this is a LIVE event, so things may change on the fly. If you want any of the VIP perks, definitely buy them early as they tend to sell out quickly!read more

Friendly atmosphere! Wide variety of vendors selling collectible merchandise from toys to… old TV Guide magazines. All sorts of artists selling some very unique stuff. In the evenings there were live bands playing, including a very entertaining band called Gello (Gwar+Green Jello). The Hotel it’s held at is pretty decent too, very cool courtyard where everyone meets after hours. I had a great time and will definitely be attending again!read more

I’ve been going to the NorthEast Comic Con for several years and always have a good time.… It is never too big or two crowded so I can browse dealers booths without having to be squeezed in with too many people. There are always lots of different dealers from tables with good dollar bins all the way up to high end graded stuff. There is also usually a good mix of dealers selling collectibles too. Its a nice way to spend a day and I almost always leave with a good haul.read more

My favorite Con in New England! I don’t really enjoy Boston fan expo it’s too commercial… and difficult to navigate, NECC offers me more of what I’m looking for amazing independent vendors with actual vintage merch rather than 6000 pop figures. What they lack in flashy current Blockbuster celebs they make up for in the interesting unique cult film stars. My only issue is that there is a real lack of food options. I’m a vegetarian and the options aren’t great for non vegetarians much less for someone with food restrictions. Even with that I will always make an effort to go! Thanks for the thought that goes into putting this together!!read more

One of my favorite local cons! Very affordable, extremely fun! I would highly recommend… this con! Although the Movie Stars/Comic Creators showcased may not be A-List, they certainly aren’t unheard of either… Some of the guests may surprise you! My favorite opportunity was meeting Gilbert Gottfried! The other cool thing about this con is how laid back and chill it feels… Most of the celebrities and creators like to hang out and even party!read more
