Rhode Island Comic Con returned to the Rhode Island Convention Center & Amica Mutual Pavilion from November 6-8, 2026 with nearly 150 celebrity guests, 100+ artists, 300+ exhibitors, and one unforgettable weekend at the biggest show in the smallest state! Each day was filled with meet & greet opportunities, once-in-a-lifetime photo ops, amazing panels, cosplay meetups, gaming, and so much more as fans explored the convention floor covered wall to wall with memorabilia for sale. Whatever the fandom and whatever you collect, RICC 2026 had it all!
One of the annual highlights of Rhode Island Comic Con is the variety of collectibles. Vendors from all around the country brought anything & everything you can collect. We’re talking about comic books (above) from every era… vintage, modern, raw, graded, signed, you name it. But also all kinds of action figures, video games, TCGs & trading cards, Funko Pops, Loungefly, Squishmallows, prop replicas, LEGO, plushies, anime merch, and the debut of the LEAF Rhode Island Comic Con Trading Cards, featuring exclusive officially signed cards from previous RICC celebrity guests.
Every year at RICC is different, so you never know what you’ll find or who you’ll meet. This year’s headliner guests included David Tennant (Doctor Who), John Cena (WWE), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars), and Famke Janssen (X-Men), along with notable comic book creators like Steven Ahola (above), Mico Suayan, Danny Fingeroth, Ben Bishop, Keith Williams, and The Hobbit’s David Thorn Wenzel. And with JSA and CGC (via facilitator Captured Collectibles) on-site, fans had a plethora of options to verify, authenticate, and encapsulate their convention autographs, original art, and signed comics!
As always, the convention spanned two floors of the Rhode Island Convention Center as well as the Amica Mutual Pavilion Upper & Lower Concourses, so you’ll definitely want to keep that convention map handy to help you find your way to unique attractions & experiences like the Ink Fusion Tattoo Pavilion, a Project Purple fundraiser, Greg Maraio’s Ultimate X-Men photo op (above), and replica vehicles like The Mystery Machine, Ectomobile, TMNT Party Wagon, and Bumblebee (below).
It’s always incredible to see all fandoms collide at Rhode Island Comic Con… in the best way possible! Where else will you find this many stars from film, television, video games, classic cartoons, novels, and comics all in one place, all while rubbing shoulders with like-minded fans who are collecting, cosplaying, and consuming the same entertainment as you? From Who Framed Roger Rabbit? to Little House on the Prairie, this year’s convention definitely didn’t hold back on the celebrity roster. And from Absolute Batman to Futurama (Chris Hawks of Real Fantastic Art, below), comic book & pop culture enthusiasts were not disappointed with the selection on the show floor.
Whether you’re a lifelong collector, a casual fan, or somewhere in between, Rhode Island Comic Con is exactly the convention that hits all the marks. So get ready for the next one: Rhode Island Comic Con is returning November 5-7, 2027 for its 15th year! Be sure to stay tuned to the official RICC website for more information.
