A new year means we’re starting over with all those fun conventions that happen throughout the year. As I usually do, I post each month’s convention list a month ahead of time. So, here’s a list of 2025’s January comic and anime conventions in the United States. I’ve also added video gaming, tabletop gaming, and other pop culture conventions and events to this list. I always try my best to find as many as possible, but if I’m missing any convention or event, just let me know and I’ll add it.
