Oz Comic-Con returns to Adelaide from May 31–June 1 with two days of pop culture, fandom fun, and a star-studded guest lineup.

Headlining the event is Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Mandalorian), alongside Catherine Tate (Doctor Who, The Catherine Tate Show, The Office) and Brandon Rogers, the voice behind Blitzø in Helluva Boss.

Voice actors Laila Berzins (Genshin Impact, Diablo IV, Arcane) and Ratana (Fire Emblem: Heroes, Monster Hunter) will also make appearances. For fans of dark humour, Oz Comic-Con welcomes the creators of Cyanide & Happiness for the first time. Co-creators Rob DenBleyker and Kris Wilson, and Producer and Head of Creative Adam Nusrallah will meet fans, sign merch, and sketch custom artwork throughout the weekend.

A special appearance will also be made by the writers and directors of Lesbian Space Princess, Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese. The pair will take to the Main Stage for a Q&A on Saturday, May 31. The film won the Teddy Award at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival and will premiere in Australian cinemas later this year.

Oz Comic-Con shines a light on comic artists and authors, with signings and other meet-and-greets available, and Artist Alley remains a hub for unique artworks, prints, and creations. This year sees a new addition with the Creators Live section, headed by online sensation and “cursed cosplay master” Rhyleep.

The Oz Comic-Con Championships of Cosplay also returns, with Adelaide’s top cosplayers vying for the title of State Champion. The winner will receive $1500 and a chance to join the Oz Comic-Con Hall of Fame. There will also be panels, workshops, and interactive Gaming Zones.
