These Nerd Legends are Coming To El Paso Comic Con 2026

El Paso, get ready. The guest list for El Paso Comic Con 2026 is already looking like the stuff of nerd dreams, and it’s only the beginning. Four absolute icons are confirmed, and one mystery legend is being teased. Grab your calendars, your cosplay, and your wallets because May 1-3, 2026 is going to be one for the books.

Jay and Silent Bob Take the Sun City

First up, let’s talk about the biggest tag-team announcement of them all. Kevin Smith, who you’ll see later this month at the El Paso Film Festival, is coming back next year with his longtime partner-in-crime, Jason Mewes. That’s right, Jay and Silent Bob are rolling into the Sun City, and you know they’re going to bring the laughs, the stories, and the chaos. Seeing these two together in person? That’s bucket-list level.

Dante Basco: The Prince of Comic Con

Next, we’ve got a voice that defined a generation. Dante Basco, the man behind countless beloved characters, will be in El Paso. You might know him as Rufio from Hook, but for millions, he will always be Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender. His voice is iconic, his career is legendary, and his presence at Comic Con is going to be fire...literally.

Brett Booth: The Artist Behind the Icons

For the comic book purists out there, El Paso Comic Con isn’t holding back. Brett Booth, a veteran artist who has put his pencils to some of the biggest names in comics, is on the guest list. From Spider-Man to Fantastic Four to X-Men, Booth’s fingerprints are all over the Marvel universe. And right now, he’s working on Spawn, adding even more to his already stacked portfolio. This is the guy behind the panels that shaped your childhood (and probably your pull list today).

And One More Thing…

As if that wasn’t enough, the El Paso Comic Con socials are teasing one more legendary guest. They haven’t revealed the name yet, but from the hints, it’s looking like a voice actor on the same level as Dante Basco. Who could it be? The speculation alone is half the fun, but when the reveal drops, expect jaws on the floor.

So here’s the bottom line: El Paso Comic Con 2026 is not messing around. Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, Dante Basco, Brett Booth, and a still-secret icon are all coming together for one massive weekend of fandom. If you’ve ever dreamed of meeting your heroes, laughing with cult film legends, or getting comics signed by one of the best in the industry, this is your chance.

May 1-3, 2026. El Paso Convention Center. Jay, Silent Bob, Prince Zuko, and the artist behind the X-Men. This is not a drill.
