As summer approaches, the Palais des congrès is prepping its halls for a convergence of cosmic proportions. Montreal Comiccon is ready to transport attendees to the final frontier with a lineup that includes some of Starfleet's finest. Fans will have the chance to meet Star Trek legends in person.

From July 5 to 7, 2024, prepare to set course aboard the USS Enterprise, with Dr. Beverly Crusher, Data, and Worf. Actors Gates McFadden, Brent Spiner, and Michael Dorn are set to give autographs, take photos, and participate in a panel that boldly goes into the nitty-gritty of spacefaring drama.

Star Trek: The Next Generation aired for seven seasons, expanding the ST universe and bringing new depth to its storytelling. The trio's attendance may be a gravitational pull that few fans can escape.

As the stars align both literarily and figuratively, attendees can also anticipate brushing shoulders with someone from another iconic space saga — Star Wars.

Ray Park, famous for his role as the formidable Darth Maul, adds a thrilling edge. He'll host a Saber Action Master Class to mark the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, offering fans an intimate session of saber choreography and demonstration.

It marks a perfect kickoff for a star-studded weekend that promises even more celebrity encounters across the galaxy of fandom.

And speaking of speedy arrivals, The Flash's own Tom Cavanagh, Danielle Panabaker, and Carlos Valdes will light up the stage. Known for their roles in the fast-paced world of metahumans, their panel discussion is expected to be a highlight for fans of the lightning-fast superhero series.

In addition to the heroes of screen, Comiccon will feature heroes of the page. Comic book creators like Tom Grummett (The Adventures of Superman, Superboy), Yanick Paquette (Wonder Woman, Batman, Swamp Thing), and Marco Rudy (RDW – A Tale of Lost Fantasy, Marvel Knights: Spiderman) will attend alongside up-and-comers like Sweeney Boo (Over My Dead Body, Harley Quinn, Cruella de Vil).

Artist Alley will be brimming with talent, giving attendees a direct line to the brilliant minds behind some of the most popular comics and graphic novels.
