Downtown Houston is about to feel a lot more like Hell’s Kitchen. Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Krysten Ritter and Wilson Bethel are all set to hit Comicpalooza at the George R. Brown Convention Center this spring, when the fan convention takes over the massive venue from May 22–24. Expect packed panels, long autograph lines and an entire weekend of programming tied to the hit series Daredevil: Born Again.
Who's Coming
Aimée McCurtain, a senior executive with the festival’s organizers, said the lineup is arriving "on the heels of the highly‑anticipated season two premiere of Daredevil: Born Again," as reported by KHOU. Comicpalooza lists Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock), Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk), Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) and Wilson Bethel (Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter/Bullseye) as some of this year's marquee guests. The second season of the series dropped in late March on Disney+, so the timing of the announcement is no coincidence.
What To Expect
Comicpalooza's official guest listings and schedule lay out which stars are appearing on which days and detail the convention hours for May 22–24. The weekend programming stretches across the show floor and multiple stages and also includes specialty attractions such as a 13th Floor Haunted House walkthrough and an Okashi Japanese arcade. According to Comicpalooza, the show will run over all three days, with VIP badge holders getting early entry on Friday. Organizers have also packed in a broad slate of comic creators, voice actors and legacy stars to fill out the roster.
Tickets & Practical Info
Badges are available as single‑day passes or full‑weekend options, and many celebrity photo‑ops and autograph sessions require separate purchases. Platforms note that photo‑op schedules will be released closer to the convention dates. Tickets and photo‑op packages are being sold through Eventbrite and other official vendor pages. Fans should brace for heavy downtown foot traffic and sizable lines for the biggest panels, so getting there early or leaning on transit is likely to pay off.
Why Fans Care
Comicpalooza routinely draws roughly 50,000 attendees and ranks as one of Houston’s largest fan festivals, so landing multiple Daredevil stars on the same weekend is a big score for local fans, according to CultureMap Houston. Organizers say the full schedule, more celebrity guests and additional attractions will roll out in the coming weeks. We'll update this story as new panels, meet‑and‑greets and ticket details are announced.
