Legendary Comic Creators Assemble at MEGACON Orlando 2026
Comic book history is coming off the page and onto the show floor at MEGACON Orlando as three of the most influential creators in modern comics make their way to the convention. Fans will have the rare opportunity to meet Jim Lee, Frank Miller, and Joe Quesada—a powerhouse lineup that has shaped the look, tone, and storytelling of comics for decades. Jim Lee, renowned for his dynamic artwork and iconic interpretations of characters like Batman and the X-Men, stands as one of the most celebrated artists in the industry. Frank Miller, whose bold, cinematic style redefined characters such as Batman and Daredevil, is widely credited with ushering in a darker, more mature era of comics. Joe Quesada, artist, editor, and former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief, played a pivotal role in revitalizing modern superhero storytelling and launching landmark creative runs. Whether you’re a lifelong collector, an aspiring artist, or a fan who grew up with these characters, this is a can’t-miss chance to meet the minds behind the legends. From Gotham rooftops to groundbreaking graphic novels, the creators who defined generations are heading to Orlando.

Legendary Voice Actor Jim Cummings comes to Comic Con RevolutionThe guest list for Comic Con Revolution has leveled up with the addition of the legendary Jim Cummings, a titan of industry whose vocal range has defined the childhoods of generations. With over 400 credits to his name, Cummings is most cherished for his dual performance as both the gentle Winnie the Pooh and the boisterous Tigger. His ability to breathe life into these residents of the Hundred Acre Wood has made him a cornerstone of animation history, yet his remarkable versatility extends far beyond soft-spoken bears. Fans of the “Disney Afternoon” era will recognize his heroic flair as the voice of Darkwing Duck, as well as his long-standing portrayal of Mickey’s perennial rival, Pete. For those venturing into a galaxy far, far away, Cummings has earned modern acclaim as the charismatic, delightfully untrustworthy space pirate Hondo Ohnaka in the Star Wars franchise. Whether voicing a classic hero or a rascally pirate with a heart of gold, Cummings brings an unmistakable soul to every role, making his appearance a definitive highlight of the convention.
