From the beginning the showcasing primarily comic books and science fiction/fantasy related film, television, and similar popular arts, the convention includes a larger range of pop culture and entertainment elements across virtually all genres, including horror, animation, anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels in the country.[3]
The 2019 event was the last held. The event for 2020 was postponed to October 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4] but the organiser "went silent" following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.[5] The parent event IgroMir was cancelled in 2022, leading to a lawsuit against the organisers over unreturned fees for the event. Given the economic sanctions on Russia and the departure of foreign media companies which prevent the sale of western video games, comics and films, Comic Con Russia is unlikely to return.[6]
