COMICPALOOZA | HOUSTON TX

Published

COMICPALOOZA | HOUSTON TX, MAY 26-28

HAPPY FRIDAY GEEKS AND GEEKETTES! If you haven’t purchased your passes for Comicpalooza yet…. “Houston we have a problem” 

Space City is hosting it’s premiere Comic-Con this month with an ALL-STAR line-up including, Stephen Amell, Chad L. Coleman, Alaqua Fox as well as WWE Stars Mick Foley and Lita (personal favorite) but that story is for another day. The important thing is we all get a chance to meet amazing Actors, Voice Actors, Illustrators and more. 

There are few nostalgic feelings we remember that stand above the rest. The feelings of LAN party’s on XBOX CRUSHING mountain dews and playing Halo with the team, or the Carpet and Popcorn smell of a Blockbuster…. The good news is Comic-Cons give us the best of both. I can’t think of a better feeling than walking into a convention center and scoping all of the merchandise and taking pictures with cosplayers across all my favorite genres. 

The good news is we are just a few short weeks away from one of the best events in Houston.

It’s all taking place at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Doors to the exhibition floor open on Friday at 3 p.m. allowing shoppers to peruse the exhibition floor while programming panels, special attractions and other lively activations take place throughout the venue. Then, after its successful debut last year, the CP Friday Night Bash amps up the fun with more entertainment and music kicking off what’s sure to be a memorable weekend. Saturday and Sunday will be no different with enlightening panels, diverse local and national exhibitors, stellar guests, and special attractions like the Itasha Showdown which is a fun car show themed out with all your favorites and so much more.

Passes can be purchased at the link below. Come see me and other Geekcasters in person all three days!

We discussed how she approached the film’s music, the emotion behind her compositions, and the role the score plays in bringing the story to life!



A great score doesn’t just support the action, it helps define the characters!

It is a rare thing to see the great George Lucas at an event and an even rarer occurrence to see him for an SDCC panel.

Dan Aykroyd attended SDCC in order to reveal the new Blues Brothers comic which he created along with his kids.


Alien Earth creator Noah Hawley not only gave fans insight to his project but held the world premiere in Hall H after the panel.


Project Hail Mary had an unforgettable Hall H panel where they engulfed the room with concept art and designs from the movie. Ryan Gosling was very charming and open about his experience on the project.


WWE legend John Cena stood up in appreciation for James Gunn and the work he has done for fans all over the world.


The Toxic Avenger had one of its first ever screenings at SDCC 2025 and star Elijah Wood helped to introduce the film.
