Comet-Con
UTD SUAAB presents, Comet-Con! This annual event is our Comic-Con spinoff for UT Dallas students. At this event, we embrace all aspects focused on comic books and related forms of pop culture entertainment, including movies, TV shows, and video games. We have historically held a student artist alley, speakers, a cosplay competition, and more!
