Doom Patrol and Titans stars set for their Planet Comicon Kansas City debut
Planet Comicon Kansas City, the region’s largest annual pop culture and comic book event, is set to return to the Kansas City Convention Center on March 17-19. This year will mark our 10th anniversary of moving to downtown Kansas City, an important waypoint on our pop culture-fueled mission that now spans 24 years and counting.

To celebrate, we’re excited to announce a quartet of stars from the DC Universe/HBO Max shows Doom Patrol and Titans.

  • An actor of many talents, Diane Guerrero is best known for portraying Maritza Ramos in Orange is the New Black, Isabela in the Disney hit film Encanto, and currently appears as Jane on Doom Patrol.
  • April Bowlby is best known for her recurring roles on Two and a Half Men and Drop Dead Diva and currently appears as Rita Farr on Doom Patrol.
  • Conor Leslie is best known for her work on the small screen, most notably Klondike, Shots Fired, and The Man in the High Castle, and currently appears as Donna Troy/Wonder Girl on Titans.
  • After starting his career in commercials, Curran Walters made his feature debut in 2014, later appearing in 20th Century Women and Do Not Reply. He’s best known for portraying Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood on Titans.
Don’t miss the chance to meet these incredible guests and give them a proper welcome to our corner of the geek galaxy. Stay tuned as we continue to add to our full roster of celebrity, creator, and cosplay guests. Additional announcements are still in the queue.
