Comic Conventions are fan conventions held annually to celebrate and promote the comic book, comic art and animation/anime industry. Over the years, they have extended to cover a number of TV shows, movies, video games and other pop culture elements popularized by or associated with the science fiction or fantasy genres. They feature interactive discussion panels, special shows and workshops, and encourage fans to dress up in costumes of their favorite characters.
Conventions have in the past showcased material from The Walking Dead. They have also included discussion panels in which The Walking Dead writers, producers and cast answered fan questions and showed spoilerish material for the next season.
