Rain City Comic Con is a new convention for the comic and visual arts, started by a coalition of independent publishers and comics affiliates in the Greater Vancouver Area.
Our mission is to bring a second creator-led comics event to the Greater Vancouver Area, so that creators have twice the opportunity to present their work to the general public.
While our initial event is May 2025 at the Roundhouse – a time and venue normally associated with VanCAF – we have no intention of competing nor replacing VanCAF. We felt that, in their temporary absence, comics creators needed an event so as not to lose momentum.
The coalition is the following:
Weirdspace
A comics event organizer
Soaring Penguin Press
An independent comics publisher
