Events near you

Comics are better in person. Every studio's published events flow into one platform-wide calendar, so you can find the convention, signing, or livestream worth your Saturday, and drop it straight into your own calendar.

1One calendar for everyone

When a studio publishes an event, it appears on their studio page and flows into the platform-wide Events calendar. It's searchable and filterable by type: conventions, signings, virtual streams, launches, and other appearances. Physical events carry a location (sometimes a booth number); virtual ones carry a join link.

The Events page: search, the List, Calendar and Map views, Near me, and type chips such as Convention.

Pro note
Filter by type first. If you can't travel, use the virtual stream filter.

2List, calendar, or map

The same events, three ways. List is the plain scannable run of what's coming. Calendar lays them across the month so you can spot a clash. Map drops them onto a map so you can see what's actually reachable. Switch whenever; it's the same data shown three ways.

The Calendar view lays October 2026 across a month grid, colour coded by event type.

The Map view places each event as a pin on the map.

Planning a trip? Map view. Planning a month? Calendar view. Just browsing? List.

3Find what's close

Hit near me and the calendar reorders to put the events closest to you first. It's the fastest way to discover that a signing you'd have loved is happening two towns over next weekend.

Near me with ZIP code 01608 and 50 mi: the nearest event comes first, marked 37 mi away.

Local, grassroots shop signings sit alongside the big conventions here. Some of the best ones are the small ones.
Pro note
Check near me even if you think nothing happens where you live. It's usually wrong, in the nicest way.

4Save it to your calendar

Found one? Add it to your calendar and you get a standard calendar file you can drop into whatever you already use. The event lands with its date, its time (if the studio set one) and its location, so future-you has no excuse.

An event card: venue, address and description, with Map, Event site and Add to calendar.

Pro note
Add it the moment you spot it. The number of great signings missed to a forgotten browser tab is genuinely tragic.
