The Pacific Northwest's premiere comic + pop culture show Emerald City Comic Con returns soon - March 6 through 9 to be exact. Stay tuned to Popverse for all the ECCC 2025 news, and buy tickets now to find your place at the Seattle staple.

The murder husbands are back.

Well, technically, they're going someplace they've not actually been before, as Hannibal's Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy are heading to Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con 2025. Popverse is thrilled to announce that the pair will be attending the Saturday and Sunday of the convention, that is, March 8 and 9.

You might remember the absolute triumph that Mikkelsen & Dancy's panel was at C2E2 2024, with the pair talking about everything from how they'd like to see Hannibal season 4 happen to how Hannibal Lecter would feel about Chicago cuisine. This year, the pair will be taking part in another major panel that guarantees to be just as exciting as previous events, if not moreso. Along with their panel, both Mikkelsen and Dancy will be doing autographs and photo ops throughout both days they're at the con.

But hold on, this tasty little appetizer isn't over yet. Not only are your favorite serial-killing psychologist and his killer-hunting soulmate making Emerald City that much more delicious, but Popverse Superfans are getting a few new perks for ECCC in 2025.
