In the darkest corners of all of our minds is a desire to rule the world. Villains come in all shapes and sizes and all of them have a different reason for why they’ve turned to life of crime; This is your opportunity to showcase why your villain is the most terrifying and the biggest threat the world has ever seen and have the opportunity to steal the show!

Enjoyed my first NorthEast Comic Con recently and look forward to the next. The artists… I spoke with were very friendly and approachable. Most of the vendors were as well.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

Great place to come and get some collectibles and autographs from famous people. … Hopefully some year they get some video game voice actors there to sign autographs.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

The Northeast Comic Con was a great experience. My 6 year old had a blast And met some… famous people such as Guy Gilcrest, the original artist for the Jim Henson collection, fragile rock rock creator, and Gilbert Godfried, among many others. Will attend next year. They have a great video game room for kids too.read more
