Get excited pop-culture junkies, there’s a new con in town!

After resigning as the CEO of Wizard World two years ago, John Macaluso missed the con scene and decided to launch his own pop-culture convention. The highly-anticipated Fandemic Tour Comic Con will debut in Sacramento the weekend of June 22-24, 2018. There will also be another show in Houston later this year (September 14-16, 2018.) The event already boasts a very impressive, interactive and family-friendly line-up. Actors and artists from cult classic films, TV shows, and comic books collide in a weekend full of panels, photo-ops, autograph signings and more.

Fandemic brings thrills and chills with a couple of events featuring the cast of AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead.’ Try not to cry when you meet Chris Sullivan and Milo Ventimiglia from NBC’s hit, ‘This Is Us.’ Relive the good old days of the WB and get nostalgic over staple shows fans still pine after when several crossover stars from ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ ‘Angel,’ and ‘Charmed’ present the ultimate supernatural trifecta. ‘Smallville’ fans will super-speed their way to a swoon-worthy Kent family reunion with Tom Welling and John Schneider. But wait, there’s more!
