Central Texas Comic Con is back for its third year, promising a weekend filled with celebrity guests, gaming tournaments, workshops, panels, cosplay contests, and over 100 vendors and artists. The event, hosted at the Base at Extraco Events Center, is expected to draw crowds as big as previous years, with online ticket sales already matching last year’s numbers.

With tickets priced at $20 for a day pass and $35 for a weekend pass, attendees can enjoy a family-friendly environment with interactive attractions for all ages. This year’s event will feature voice actors from popular shows like “Ed, Edd n Eddy,” “Demon Slayer,” and “Dragon Ball Z,” as well as local vendors and artists from across the state.

For Laundy and her family, cosplaying has become a way to bond and express their love for various fandoms. Through hours of dedicated work on costumes, they have won multiple awards at cosplay contests and formed lasting friendships within the cosplay community.

Overall, Central Texas Comic Con offers a judgment-free zone for fans to celebrate their favorite characters and immerse themselves in a world of creativity and camaraderie. Whether you’re a seasoned cosplayer or a first-time attendee, this event promises a weekend of fun, inspiration, and connection for all who attend.
