The experience
What's special
Planet Comicon Kansas City is a three-day comic book and pop culture convention at Bartle Hall in the Kansas City Convention Center, run by Planet Promotions since its first show in Overland Park, Kansas in March 1999; the organizer bills it as the largest comic and pop culture convention in this region of the Midwest, and calls 2027 its 28th anniversary show. The early 2027 guest list leans on comics, with Don Rosa of Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck fame, Cullen Bunn, John Layman of CHEW, Kevin Nowlan, Kieron Dwyer, Phil Hester and Ande Parks, alongside actors Morena Baccarin and Rose McGowan. The exhibit floor is split into Celebrity Row, Artists Alley, Crafter Alley, a Cosplay Showcase, the Exhibitor Emporium and an Entertainment Zone, and panels and anime watch-along screenings run until midnight on Friday and Saturday at no extra charge. Main Stage panels carry ASL interpretation, and a Quiet Room is open all weekend.
How it works
The exhibit floor opens Friday, April 2 from 1 PM to 8 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM. Adult tickets are $43.99 for Friday or Sunday, $62.99 for Saturday and $100.99 for all three days, each with a merch voucher; children 7 and under are free, and youth 8 to 12 are free on Sunday. Wristbands can be collected early at shops in Lees Summit and Overland Park. Many guests and vendors take cash only.
When it runs
Friday to Sunday. Exhibit floor: Friday 1 PM to 8 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 7 PM, Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM; programming runs until midnight Friday and Saturday. Fast Pass and VIP holders enter half an hour early on Friday and Saturday.
