Battle of the Tropes

Planet Comicon Kansas City 2026
Panel Room 2505 A
Friday, March 27th — 7:00 PM to 7:50 PM

A comic con favorite is back and bringing the laughs. Whether you prefer the chosen one, the love triangle, or a good red herring, this game is for you. Teams of authors will debate to find the most beloved tropes and those we wish would disappear. Your vote will determine the winners of each round. But don’t worry: these enemies will be lovers again after the competition ends.
