Rob Liefeld, Robert Kirkman, and Kevin Smith are among the notable figures set to appear at MultiCon, a pop culture convention that will raise funds for the recovery efforts following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. The event, scheduled for February 22 at The Preserve LA, will bring together creators, actors, and industry veterans to support the community affected by the disaster.
Joining the lineup are Guardians of the Galaxy actor Sean Gunn, Superman & Lois stars Bitsie Tulloch and Michael Cudlitz, The Walking Dead showrunner Scott M. Gimple, and actors Khary Payton and Shar Jackson. Previously announced guests include David Dastmalchian and Seth Green. The proceeds from MultiCon will benefit United Way of Greater Los Angeles, with general admission tickets priced at $35 and VIP access available for $100.
“We are excited to continue to expand our guest list and provide fans with the chance to engage with some of the biggest names in entertainment while supporting a cause that impacts all of us,” said Multihouse CEO Michael Tessler. “With the devastating impact of wildfires in California, we’re honored to partner with United Way of Greater Los Angeles to make a difference in our community.”
“MultiCon is shaping up to be an extraordinary celebration of community, fandom, and impact. We couldn’t be more excited to expand our guest list with some of the biggest names in entertainment while raising vital funds for the ongoing wildfire recovery efforts. We’re honored to partner with the United Way of Greater Los Angeles in this endeavor.”
In addition to panel discussions and autograph signings, attendees can participate in other attractions, including a comedy performance by Don’t Tell Comedy and live music from Sofar Sounds. Golden Apple Comics will host an auction featuring rare collectibles, including a signed piece from the late Stan Lee and Liefeld. The event aims to provide entertainment while raising funds for those impacted by the wildfires.
The Los Angeles wildfires, which occurred in January 2025, destroyed over 18,000 structures and forced more than 200,000 residents to evacuate. The fires, driven by Santa Ana winds and prolonged drought conditions, were among the most destructive in California history. MultiCon’s organizers hope the convention will serve as both a gathering of fandom and a meaningful opportunity to contribute to recovery efforts.
