Representing the world of video games, a number of actors and voice actors are joining the line-up. Alongside Angela Sant’Albano, who played Grace Ashcroft in *Resident Evil: Requiem*, the cast is joined by Emma Rose Creaner, who plays Emily in the film of the same name.

Joining the cast of Baldur’s Gate III are Amelia Tyler (the iconic narrator) and Tim Downie, the voice and face of the wizard Gale Dekarios.

In addition to the previously announced Mark Waid, John Romita Jr and Bill Morrison, Mgwcmx is set to welcome Daiki Tomiyasu, director of hugely successful animated series such as Pokémon Sun and Moon, the current Pokémon Horizons and Inazuma Eleven. Joining him will be Misu Yamaneko, an Italian who has now settled in Japan, where she lives and works, and whose career spans traditional animation (Pokémon Horizons, The Special Unit Diaries, *Digimon BeatBreak*, *Vinland Saga* and *The Promised Neverland*) and video games (she contributed, in fact, to the creation of the cutscenes for the remake of Resident Evil 4).

Thanks to J-Pop Manga, we welcome Jun Mayuzuki, author of manga such as *Kowloon Generic Romance*, *Sayonara Daisy* and *Come after the Rain*. The Toshokan label – which is making its debut at Mgwcmx 2026 with a dedicated stand – will be hosting Kathy Lam, founder of the Dawning Crow studio and author of *Mobu’s Diary*. Also from the Land of the Rising Sun, Jundo will be bringing Liang Azha, a Chinese webtoon author.

On the ‘western front’, the world of superhero comics is a must, featuring artists of the calibre of Marco Checchetto, illustrator of the modern classic Ultimate Spider-Man,Sara Pichelli (who, in collaboration with Brian M. Bendis, created the character of Miles Morales) and Simone Bianchi, illustrator of famous heroes such as Wolverine, the X-Men, Batman, Thor and many others.

Joining the ranks of superhero artists will be Simon Bisley, known for the Lobo series, Darick Robertson (illustrator of *The Boys*) and Scott Hanna, an American comic book inker and Eisner Award winner.

Thanks to ReNoir Comics, on the other hand, visitors will also have the chance to meet the creative duo behind Soma, Fernando Llor and Carles Dalmau – the latter also known as the concept artist for the video game Cult of the Lamb. And there’s more: the Serbian comic book master R.M. Guéra, and Italian authors such as Roberto Recchioni, Federico Mele and Samuel Spano.

13 themed areas, hundreds of exhibitors

The main themed areas dedicated to the world of video games will be spread out between Halls 22 and 24. Here, visitors can lose themselves in a vast Freeplay Zone, organised into themed areas, where they can try out the latest releases and enjoy a game with friends, choosing from an endless array of titles and over a hundred stations; the Gaming District will offer a sneak preview of the best in independent creativity in the Indie Dungeon

Those who love to lose themselves in the pages of comics and manga, on the other hand, will find their natural habitat in Halls 9 and 11.

Between Electric Town and ImagiNation, visual art from around the world will be celebrated, whilst an Artist Alley featuring 160 stalls – a record number – will provide ample space for artists from all backgrounds, with a special focus on independent micro-publishers.

To mark the 40th anniversary of the ‘Nightmare Investigator’, Sergio Bonelli Editore will be taking part in Milan Games Week & Cartoomics with a special Dylan Dog-themed exhibition. It was, in fact, on 26 September 1986 that the character created by Tiziano Sclavi first appeared on newsstands for Sergio Bonelli Editore with *L’alba dei morti viventi* – written by Sclavi, illustrated by Angelo Stano and with a cover by Claudio Villa – the first issue of a series that has since attracted millions of readers.

For board game enthusiasts, however, the Unplugged area is a must-visit, where you can discover the latest releases from publishers such as Asmodee, Need Games, MS Edizioni, Pendragon, DV Games and Boose, with an area entirely dedicated to Magic: The Gathering, offering the chance to meet the game’s official artists.

Organised by Fiera Milano in collaboration with Fandango Club Creators, the event will take place at the well-established Fiera Milano venue, in Halls 9, 11, 22 and 24.
