In 2015, Todd Davis, working with the Southeast Missourian and its sister company rustmedia, invited Cape Girardeau Comic Con attendees for portraits. Some of his favorites are posted here.

This year's event, which takes place at the Show Me Center, will run 3 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1; the second day will be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday; and the final day will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

The cosplay contest will take place at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, in the panel room.

The entry fee for the contest is $5, and all costumes must be family-friendly. The children 12 and younger category has no special requirements; the 13 and older category requires all costumes to be at least 25% homemade. Those who do not meet these requirements will not be eligible for prizes. There also will be free professional cosplay photo ops throughout the weekend separated by fandom groups.
