Big Lick Comic Con returns to the Berglund Center in Roanoke, Virginia, for its ninth year this weekend, headlined by a reunion tied to Amazon's hit series "The Boys". The event, founded by J.D. Sutphin, has grown into a notable East Coast fixture on the pop-culture convention circuit, offering an alternative gathering for fans in the weeks after San Diego Comic-Con has wrapped up for the year.

The two-day event at the Berglund Center features celebrity autograph signings, panels and a cosplay competition, alongside anniversary celebrations and cast reunions. It builds on a run of high-profile guest appearances at the venue this year, including a Twilight reunion with Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz, a Q&A with X-Men voice actor Lenore Zann, and a 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reunion with Judith Hoag and Ernie Reyes Jr.
