Though it primarily focuses on comic books, the convention features a large range of pop culture elements, such as Professional wrestling, science fiction/fantasy, film/television, animation, anime, manga, toys, Collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels. Given Pittsburgh's connection to George A. Romero's zombie apocalypse films (with Romero's Dawn of the Dead being filmed in the Monroeville Mall), horror fans are also welcomed at the convention to meet and greet with the film's actors that regularly attend.

  • Though it primarily focuses on comic books, the convention features a large range of pop culture elements, such as Professional wrestling, science fiction/fantasy, film/television, animation, anime, manga, toys, Collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels. Given Pittsburgh's connection to George A.

The show also makes a concerted effort to promote local-area talent and publishers. The show raises money for various charities; over the years the show has supported local literacy organizations, the Comic book Legal Defense Fund, local Food Banks, and has raised more than $250,000 for the Pittsburgh chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
