The Inland Empire’s premier family-friendly comic convention, Comic Con Revolution (CCR), is gearing up for an unprecedented, star-studded event at the Ontario Convention Center on May 20 and 21, 2023.

The event promises a diverse, action-packed weekend featuring comic book legends, actors, wrestlers, voice actors, celebrities, cosplayers, writers, and more—all in the Inland Empire’s backyard.

“We wanted to build a family-friendly show and bring the best of the industry to the Inland Empire. So we settled upon the IE in 2017 after doing shows in Long Beach, Chicago, Florida, and New York. It’s a way for fans to come out and express themselves, and it’s right in the heart of Southern California,” said Drew Seldin, co-founder and co-owner of Comic Con Revolution.

Headlining the event is the first-ever reunion of the entire cast of the critically acclaimed animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. This groundbreaking gathering has fans flying in from all over the world to witness this historic event. In addition to the cast reunion, attendees can expect panel discussions, photo ops, and an unforgettable experience.

“The panel will be packed out,” Seldin shared. “We have people coming in from as far away as Australia, and it’s just inspiring to see someone that much of a fan of something.”

The event features a stellar lineup of first-time attendees, including Mercedes Varnado, better known as WWE superstar Sasha Banks and Koska Reeves from the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian; Scott Grimes and J. Lee from The Orville; and Sean Kanan, the bad boy of karate from Cobra Kai. Comic book royalty, such as John Romita Jr., Chris Claremont, Jim Starlin, Whilce Portacio, and Marv Wolfman, will also attend.

“We’ve carefully curated a guest list that not only celebrates the best of the industry but also provides a truly unforgettable experience for fans of all ages. In addition, our family-friendly focus means that everyone can enjoy this incredible event,” added Seldin.

It can be affordable for a family,” Seldin emphasized.
