Pasadena’s Comic Con has been held for a while now, having its comeback at the start of the New Year that is 2026, for one day only on Sunday January 25th, 2026! The Pasadena Comic Con has been held at the Pasadena convention center for a while, it always being a success year after year, that this year it wouldn’t be much different.
The event had various guests, a number of the Power Rangers cast both old and new, as well as numerous other actors including voice actors, such as Kristen McGuire who has done work in numerous anime’s, games, along with Clifford Chapin another voice actor who has done work within the anime scene, along with David Sobolov, his work being in some animated works as well. Artists like Derek Riggs known for his Iron Maiden artwork was there signing autographs, taking photos, with other artists being featured, meeting with fans alike as well. A number of other guests stopped in to meet and greet with guests it was quite a list with many of the lines not being so long of a wait time!
Throughout the convention center were vendors selling numerous items ranging from artwork, stickers, patches, toys, appeal, posters, games, to the artist alley having a lot more artwork to behold. Other vendors even featured their own books! So much merchandise to choose from and browse through, a few guests were even dressed up as numerous characters like Predator to the Kpop Demon Hunters girls, to Power Rangers, furry critters, just a handful of sorts out and about but still creative to see all decked out.
In the end though, this comic con sized convention may be small but that’s what makes it so good, well better actually. You get to meet guests of all types, being up close, chit chatting away, having them sign memorabilia, to just sharing stories with one another. It’s a good time, for a good price, ins such a small space, it is worth checking out if you're in the area, you can find something to do and find fun!

Anime Pasadena has returned and with its summer edition of Anime Riverside, which tended to make things hot and sizzle, this fall edition was well more cooled off alternative.
That said, Anime Pasadena featured over 400 vendors and artists, over 60 celebrity guests doing panels, meet and greets with guests, lots of cosplayers, photo ops, gaming zones, idol performances, karaoke, giveaways and free activities, to much more!
Upon arriving on the last day of that weekend of Novmeber 8tn and 9th, on that Sunday November 9th, a little after 3PM, with the convention closing at 6PM, the event was in high alert, everyone snapping group photos, checking out vendors, cheering with the performers, down to meeting with voice actors and other guests.
I myself had nabbed some new merch for one of the idol performances Strawberry Sunday, along with getting a signature from a voice actor! Overall this was a better put together convention, at the Pasadena Convention Center, it should be held here every year!

Monsterpalooza is in it’s 15th year of running, for those unaware it is a horror based convention, where guests within the horror movie and TV scene come together to meet fans from all over. This year the event took place during the start of the summer time, end of May, early June, May 31st through June 2nd 2024 in Los Angeles, California in the city of Pasadena at it’s convention center. When attending you could attend any of the 3-day weekend, or get a pass to attend the entire event.
Having gotten my ticket for the opening night of May 31st Friday night, the event would kick off at 6PM til 11PM, with various guests like Nick Castle, famous for play Michael Myers from the original 1978 Halloween film, to Doug Bradley who is known as Pinhead from the Hellraiser franchise, down to Kane Hooder best known as Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th franchise. Others included new comers like David Howard Thornton of the Terrifier series, as well even Linda Blair of The Exorcist. Among many other guests in attendance, lines formed in and around the venue, with fans eagerly awaiting to meet their favorite guests.
But besides guests aligning the event, there were loads of vendors with numerous items available for purchase, ranging from movie props to posters, tshirts, bags, figures, keychains, cups, make up tutorials, to people dressed up roaming around as their favorite characters. It was quite a sight to see, even experiencing a museum. Which was decked out in numerous statues from various movies music videos, TV shows, and much else, it was breath taking really. Everything that Monsterpalooza had to offer was something else really. It was a fun experience and one that all should check out at least once.
