Los Angeles Comic Con, L.A.’s largest event for comics, gaming, sci-fi, anime, and pop culture, is thrilled to unveil its full lineup of celebrity talent, panels, and activations for its 15th anniversary show, taking place October 30-November 1.

Comic Con is going bigger across the entire fan experience, with major celebrity guests and cast reunions, an expanded Akiba Station and Gaming Hall, Halloween festivities, and more throughout all three days.

“Fifteen years of L.A.

The Main Stage will deliver some of the weekend’s biggest cast moments, including Aaron Paul, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, and Dean Norris from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The appearance marks Odenkirk’s first-ever convention appearance and Paul’s first U.S. convention appearance, making

the reunion especially exciting for fans of both series. More casts will take over the Main Stage, with Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, and samUIL Lee from KPop Demon Hunters. Star Wars fans can look forward to Ahsoka stars Rosario Dawson, Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Eman Esfandi taking the stage together for a panel spotlighting the series.
