RobCon is on its way! we will be returning to the Higher Ed Center in Abingdon, VA on October 17th and 18th, 2026! RobCon is a regional tradition spanning more than 35 years, with a lifespan that has seen it grow from a single room with a few vendors to the Tri-Cities largest Comic and Pop Culture Convention; always growing and evolving to the wants and needs of the long list of fans of both Mountain Empire Comics and all things nerdy!

​

Mountain Empire Comics has been a staple of the comic and gaming communities in the Tri-Cities since 1984 and has helped countless people find fun and friendship through their stores in both Johnson City and Bristol.
