Comic Con is where generations come together, says Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India. “You can see parents and their children exploring their respective loves for pop culture; it could be Archie’s or Chacha Chaudhuri for the grownups, while the youngsters pursue a Demon Slayer or a new IP in the anime world.”
With Comic Con 2025 right around the corner, Shefali shares how no two editions of the event are ever the same. “We get different artistes every year and the lineup changes. As a result, the experiences brought about by our partners, are distinct too. In this way, we ensure visitors do not feel like they’ve been here before, while the vibe eternally stays the same.”
Some of the highlights of this year’s line up include international artistes such as Peter Ngyuen known for his work with DC and Marvel Comics; actor Chloe Hollings, the voice of Overwatch’s Widowmaker, and Robert Capron, the writer and actor who played Rowley in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid trilogy.
Homegrown talent will see over 20 top Indian creators, storytellers and illustrators sharing space over two days. This includes the likes of LiloRosh, Axis Williams, Urban Takes, Acid Toad and others, with performances by Kumar Varun, The Fluteboxers, Sahil Shah, Kevin Noel Sequeira and others. Needless to say, it took the team the better part of a year to curate their guest list.

Shefali says, “Though the offerings change every year in keeping with what is trending in pop culture, most of our partners have been with us ever since they first experimented with Comic Con.”
“There will definitely be something to entertain every visitor to Comic Con; music, comedy shows as well as new books and comics that will be launched. It is an experience you enjoy with friends and family. I would say people come to create memories.”
