It’s WEBTOON’s 10th anniversary and to celebrate, the world’s largest digital comics platform will head to New York Comic-Con. In their biggest NYCC appearance yet, WEBTOON will host a number of panels, over a dozen creator signings, merch and more. Creators who will attend include Rachel Smythe (Lore Olympus), uru-chan (unOrdinary), Snailords (Freaking Romance and Death: Rescheduled), Gina Musa (Boot Camp), and Meredith Moriarty (Third Shift Society).
For its debut on the convention floor, WEBTOON will have two booths. Fans can participate in “can’t miss” activities, meet some of the biggest names in webcomics and, of course, merch.
