Comic Invasion Berlin

The 2025 edition continued the festival's established format. The focus was again on the Artist Alley with tables for cartoonists, small presses, and comic initiatives, complemented by workshops, readings, panels, and comic competitions. Each year, the festival highlights a different geographical or thematic focus – the specific country focus for 2025 is no longer fully documented on the festival website, as the web presence is geared towards the upcoming 2026 edition.

Comic Invasion thus remains what it has been since 2012: a curated off-festival without commercial pressure, making Berlin's independent comic culture visible. Its clear anti-AI stance and free accessibility make it an unusual format on the international comic festival calendar.
