From Friday, April 12 through Sunday, April 14, the 9th annual Huntsville Comic and Pop Culture Expo unfolded at the Von Braun Center, in Huntsville AL. It drew in an enthusiastic crowd of fans eager to immerse themselves in the world of pop culture. This event has become one of the largest fandom conventions in the area, with more than 18,000 fans showing out for the event in 2023.
The expo’s Artist Alley and vendor booths offered a treasure trove of delights for attendees. Talented artists and creators displayed their artwork, comics, and handcrafted goods. Vendors tempted visitors with a vast array of merchandise, including rare collectibles and vintage comics.
Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
