FAQ

No, not exactly. KICx is an expo that is focused primarily on projects that are self-published, or published through small press publishers. While you might find some mainstream comics or meet artists who have worked on major comics, our focus is primarily on the independent creators and publishers.

This event will have a very broad range of material and will feature a diverse roster of artists, writers, publishers & creators. There will definitely be work to check out that is suitable for a younger audience.

Cosplay is not discouraged but it’s worth noting that this is not a typical “comic con” event.

We will have some awesome t-shirts, posters, and stickers for you to pick up when you're onsite. Visit our merch station when you arrive for these limited edition items.

We accept applications for exhibitors who are interested in having a table at KICx. Visit our Pro Page to learn more.
