Rhode Island Comic Con 2025 was filled with celebrities, artists, and collectibles galore! With over 130 top-tier celebrity guests, 300+ exhibitors, 100+ artists, and tons of experiences across four floors between the Amica Mutual Pavilion & RI Convention Center, November 7-9 was a weekend to remember. From meeting the stars of Daredevil and CW’s The Flash to comic book legends Michael Golden and Arthur Suydam, nobody does it quite like Rhode Island Comic Con.
This year’s incredible guest list included names like Susan Sarandon, Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Marissa Tomei, Rainn Wilson, Dennis Rodman, Rosario Dawson, Katee Sackhoff, and Chevy Chase. Live action comic book heroes, voice actors, wrestlers, sitcom stars… you name it, and Rhode Island Comic Con’s got it! Fans could even pre-purchase autograph and photo-op tickets to secure their spots all weekend long. Plus an impressive Artist Alley packed with not only local artists & crafters, but well-known comic book creators, too! Whether you want to meet Green Lantern & Micronauts artist Pat Broderick (below) or Marvel’s Echo creator David Mack, Rhode Island Comic Con makes it both possible and accessible.
It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up prints, posters, stickers, and other merch, or even commission an artist to take home your very own original art piece! And if you happened to bring comics to get signed (by either creators in Artist Alley or one of the many celebrities), authentication options were available thanks to CGC’s JSA, Captured Collectibles, and SWAU. Not only will these services certify your collectible, but help protect your investment in the long run as well.
And with plenty of other collectibles for sale on the Main Convention Floor, we’re just getting started! We’re talking about comic books, trading cards, Funko Pops, swords & lightsabers, custom apparel, LEGO minifigures, 3D-printed collectibles, movie posters, video games, board games, and even anime merch from Gamer’s Heaven (above). There’s nothing too niche for Rhode Island Comic Con!
Fan-favorite charity cosplay group The 501st Legion was also back this year, this time showcasing their version of the iconic Rebels mural (above), alongside a host of other bonus experiences throughout the rest of the convention: panels & activities, tattoo artists, the return of The Blockbuster Experience, Feature Presentation’s Stranger Things display, Bill Diamond’s full-size Muppet Show Theater, NeverEnding Story photo ops (below), and iconic cars like the Ghostbusters Ectomobile, Jurassic Park Jeeps, the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, and a VW Beetle Bumblebee. It was a pop culture geek’s dream come true!
Every year Rhode Island Comic Con somehow manages to outdo itself! If you’re a pop culture enthusiast, autograph hunter, comic book collector, or all of the above, RICC is a must-attend event. It returns next year from November 6-8, 2026 so be sure to visit their official site for upcoming ticket info and, in the meantime, check out our photo gallery as well as a video recap below:
