I love a good local convention. I was able to attend Comic Con Revolution in Ontario, CA—and this year’s event (May 17–18, 2025) did not disappoint. From meeting childhood icons to finding rare merch and cosplaying of course, the entire weekend was filled with so many epic moments, I just had to share.
🌟 Smallville and Teen Titans Reunion
Let’s talk about the Smallville reunion first, because it’s still a moment whether you watched a few episodes or an avid fan! Seeing Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Michael Rosenbaum, and more of the cast in person felt so nostalgic. I grew up seeing the show as a headliner, and I was a teenager then.
And if that wasn’t enough, the Teen Titans panel brought major animated series energy. Hearing Greg Cipes (Beast Boy) and Tara Strong (Raven) voice their characters live was such a treat. It reminded me why I fell in love with the original Teen Titans and storytelling in the first place.
🛍️ Found the Cutest Sailor Moon Merch!
Of course, I couldn’t leave without snagging some Sailor Moon goodies. I found three adorable keychains and a few enamel pins that are so going on my ita bag. The artist alley and vendor booths had so many gems—it was hard to choose! If you’re a magical girl at heart like me, definitely keep an eye out.
🤼♀️ Meeting WWE Royalty: Booker T, Sharmell, Saraya, Mickie James & Mick Foley
As someone who grew up watching WWE/WWF, ECW, and wrestling in general m, getting to meet Booker T and Queen Sharmell was legendary. Like, five-time champ vibes! I also got to meet Saraya (aka Paige), Mickie James, and the legend Mick Foley—and every one of them was so down-to-earth, genuine and kind.
🏴☠️ My Zoro Cosplay
Okay, let’s talk about cosplay. This year, I went as none other than Roronoa Zoro from One Piece—green hair, jacket, and minus the swords. I’ve been wanting to bring this look to life for a while, and Comic Con Revolution felt like the perfect place to do it. So many people recognized the character too. Not many cosplayers at CCR as I would have thought though.

Final Thoughts
Comic Con Revolution 2025 gave me everything I needed especially after the last 2 years of life disappointments. Amazing panels, iconic guest stars, tons of cool merch, and a supportive community of fellow fans and creators. Whether you’re into anime, superheroes, wrestling, or just love the energy of being around people who get your fandom obsessions, this con is 100% worth attending.
Already counting down the days until next year 💫
