Big Flats, NY – Page One Entertainment is excited to announce that the 11th Annual Twin Tiers Comic Con was a tremendous success, drawing more than 4,000 fans from across the region. The weekend was packed with comics, cosplay, gaming, collectibles, and all things pop culture.

Attendees immersed themselves in video game tournaments, a Pokémon Scavenger Hunt, board game demonstrations, Q&A panels, and the return of the T2C2 Cosplay Nation with its Adult Cosplay Contest and Youth Cosplay Parade.

Meanwhile, the StreamerVerse Passport Challenge kept fans engaged as they competed for prizes. The strong turnout and enthusiastic feedback from both attendees and exhibitors further demonstrated why T2C2 remains the region’s most beloved and enduring pop-culture event. “This year’s Comic Con absolutely blew us away. T2C2 has always been about bringing people together, and seeing the energy, the costumes, the families, the veterans, and all the kids celebrating made the weekend truly unforgettable.

This event is about joy, imagination, and creativity, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it our best year yet,” said Michael Royle, T2C2 Co-Founder. More than 1,000 children ages 14 and under were admitted free, continuing T2C2’s commitment to accessibility for young fans and families, which is made possible in partnership with the Chemung County Youth Bureau.
