Odyssey Comics is gearing up to table at SLICE 2025, the St. Louis Independent Comics Expo. We’ll be storming the Sheldon Concert Hall & Art Galleries on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with special evening festivities at the “Opening Night” event kicking off Friday, October 17 from 6–10 p.m. before the main expo hits full swing.
What to Expect
- First crack at Planet Pumpkin, Slight Return, and whatever new books our creators are brewing.
- Behind-the-scenes banter, exclusive swag, and maybe a handshake or two from Marcus, Erin, or the creative crew (just say “hey”).
- A chance to connect with other indie comics obsessives, because if there’s one thing Odyssey never shies from, it’s finding our kind of people in the crowd.
Why SLICE?
SLICE has become a mecca for indie-print magic with 100+ creators, poetry, zines, comics, and cool stuff by your favorite underdogs, all under one roof. The creative engines behind Ngozi Ukazu, Trung Le Nguyen, and hometown hero Rori are on the roster this year. It’s the perfect place for Odyssey to hang its banner and say, “Bring us the bold, the strange, the unforgettable.”
