Central A&M High School’s Raidercon will be making its way back to campus for the third time on Saturday, March 23rd from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The Raiders want the community to join them in their high school gymnasium to see comics, cards, and collectibles, meet and interact with artists, participate in cosplay, and more.

Justin Smith, an Art Educator at Central A&M High School began this initiative in 2019 when students expressed interest in creating a superhero club, where students could read and talk comics. Since then the group has evolved and now presents a fully formed Raidercon where they expect 23 different vendors this year.
