The magazine side of the business closed in 2011.Īccording to a Fan Expo representative, Wizard World will continue to operate its collectibles business Wizard World Vault, and is expected to have booth space at future Fan Expo events. In 1996 it got into the convention game, buying the long-running Chicago Comicon and renaming it Wizard World Chicago. Wizard was originally founded as part of the comics journalism magazine of the same name. Wizard World's sale of its largest shows to Fan Expo is effectively Wizard's exit from the comic book convention business - at least as an organizer. Fan Expo HQ expects nearly 1 million fans across its 2022 events, including the former Wizard World cons.
With the acquisition of these six comic conventions, Fan Expo HQ now has 17 North American cons, making it the largest comic convention organization in the world.
