The Colorado Springs Comic Con is returning this weekend, celebrating fan favorites and cult classics at The Broadmoor World Arena.<\/p>\n

The three-day festival, which starts Friday afternoon, will host dozens of celebrity guests for fans to meet, as well as a market full of pop culture goods and cosplay contests.<\/p>\n

One special guest to look forward to this year is Kevin Smith of \u201cClerks,\u201d who will only be at the con on Sunday, said Krisily Fernstrom, spokesperson for Altered Reality Entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re super excited, because Kevin puts on an amazing show. He is only there one day, so anybody that wants to see him definitely wants to make sure that they get that ticket for that day,\u201d she said. \u201cThe rest of the guests within the \u2018Clerks\u2019 group will be there all weekend, but Kevin does his own panel separate from us. His shows are really, really fun, and he\u2019s kind of just a blast for anyone who grew up with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three cast members from \u201cOnce Upon A Time,\u201d Lana Parrilla, Rebecca Mader and Sean Maguire, will appear at the event and participate in a panel. Several voice actors from \u201cThe Clone Wars\u201d will be in attendance, including Matt Lanter, Ashley Eckstein and James Arnold Taylor.<\/p>\n

Some other highlighted guests: Priscilla Presley and Devon Werkheiser of \u201cNed\u2019s DeClassified.\u201d There will also be a host of artists showcasing their work, including Bill Diamond, who worked on \u201cDark Crystal,\u201d \u201cLabyrinth,\u201d \u201cSesame Street\u201d and most recently \u201cTerrifier 3.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Colorado Springs Comic Con also will have a sensory room to provide a space to step away for a moment for those who are neurodivergent or who just need a quiet moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have it at every show, so any of our guests that need kind of just a quiet space, to be with their family or to just kind of take a breath from an overwhelming crowd,\u201d Fernstrom said.<\/p>\n

Like every year, dressing up as your favorite character or pop culture icon is encouraged \u2014 as long as you keep it family friendly, Fernstrom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Disney has coined the phrase it\u2019s \u2018the happiest place on Earth,\u2019 but I don\u2019t know. I feel like Comic Cons are the happiest place on Earth because everyone is so happy to be there, whether it\u2019s our guests that are there to sign autographs and meet the people that have made their shows so successful, or the people that are there to meet those guests,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
