Melbourne, get set to go geeks galore!
The Oz Comic-Con is back in Melbourne 9-10 June, at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, providing Victoria’s yearly, ultimate celebration of pop culture.
Oz Comic-Con Melbourne is an exciting culmination of multi-genre content, from across the spectrum, with a lot of everything, for everyone—appearances by film and television stars, comic book artists and voice actors; gaming demonstrations and cosplay competitions; creative workshops and mater classes; and hard to find, exclusive merchandise from vendors that will leave convention goers totally geeking out.
Kids can try their hand at comic art, at the kids comic artists workshops, or event get into cosplay for the Kids Cosplay Parade. Comic collectors can head over to the comic grading area, and to the main stage for guest panel discussions. Anime fans will have their knowledge tested with trivia, and diehard cosplayers can kick off their journey to take home the international title in Melbourne’s Championship of Cosplay heat. Gamers will be getting a work out too, with Couch Warriors, putting their skills to the test in daily tournaments of new and classic titles. And this is only a preview of what’s on offer!
Jono Whyman, event manager of ReedPOP, says, “This is the biggest Oz Comic-Con to hit Melbourne. We’re proud to be supporting great, local Victorian business and talent at this year’s expo and in Artist Alley. It’s going to be an awesome showcase of all things pop culture, from original and fan art, to comic books, art prints, novels, jewellery, clothing and homeware. If you’re looking to buy the next closest thing to Thor’s might hammer, this is where you’ll find it.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
