Chennai Comic Con is set to return for its fourth edition on January 16–17, 2027, at Chennai Trade Centre, Nandambakkam. Presented by Maruti Suzuki and powered by Crunchyroll, the event will bring together fans, artists, creators and pop-culture communities for two days of comics, anime, gaming, cosplay and entertainment.

Organised by Comic Con India, a subsidiary of NODWIN Gaming, the event aims to bring Chennai's growing fandom community under one roof. Visitors can look forward to meeting international guests, discovering new stories, interacting with creators and seeing their favourite characters come to life through cosplay. Live music, stand-up comedy, immersive fan zones and gaming arenas will also be part of the celebrations.

The event offers fans an opportunity to explore their interests, meet like-minded people and celebrate the stories, characters and creative worlds they enjoy.

Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, said, “Chennai’s connection with art and culture can be seen across its landscape, from its vibrant murals to the Cholamandal Artists’ Village. The city’s rich heritage, artistic communities and vibrant cultural calendar reflect a deep-rooted spirit of creativity and self-expression. The overwhelming response and support we received from fans in Chennai last year reaffirmed the city’s strong connection with fandom and pop culture. We are excited to return for another chapter of Chennai Comic Con and bring fans an even bigger celebration of the communities and passions they love.”

Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, added, “Chennai has a long-standing love for storytelling and comics, from the early efforts to translate and localise classic adventure comics to the vibrant fandom culture we see today. From passionate movie fan clubs and public celebrations to growing communities around anime, manga, gaming and global pop culture, the city has a unique way of bringing fans together. We see immense potential in Chennai, and Comic Con is an opportunity to build on this enthusiasm by creating a space where fans can meet like-minded people, discover new interests and celebrate the characters, stories and worlds they love. We’re excited to see how the city makes Comic Con its own and how its fandom community continues to grow.”

The previous edition attracted over 45,000 fans, featuring internationally acclaimed comic book writer Ron Marz, known for his work on Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, Witchblade and the DC vs. Marvel crossover series. The response highlighted Chennai's growing interest in comics and pop culture, setting the stage for another gathering of fans in 2027.

With its return, Chennai Comic Con aims to build on this momentum and bring together an even wider community of fans to celebrate their shared interests.
