NOVI – This upcoming November, the Suburban Collection Showplace becomes the home once again to the Motor City Comic Con. Novi’s annual pop culture event brings nerds and geeks far and wide to the packed convention center. The event is filled to the brim with activities including costume contests, children’s face painting, anime viewing rooms and guest panels.
Among the crowds of costumed nerds are also welcomed celebrity guests from film and television. Stars such as “Stranger Thing’s”David Harbour, “Star Wars” Billy Dee Williams, “Blue Beetle’s” Xolo Maridueña, and many more! All available to meet at their booths for autograph signings, selfies, and professional photo-ops.
After taking a chance to meet a celebrity guest, don’t forget to swing through the conventions of many vendors! From comic books to old toys, you’ll find it all among what would be a collectors dream. Motor City Comic Con is also home to many independent vendors as well who create their own products to showcase.
Once you’ve walked by the vendors, take a step into artist alley! This is where you can find all the up and coming artists and writers of tomorrow. Here, you can pick up amazing giant hand painted art pieces and original graphic novels and books you couldn’t find at your local Barnes and Noble.
The event this season runs from Nov. 10-12. You can visit https://motorcitycomiccon.com/ for ticket purchases and event FAQ such as parking, shuttle buses, convention times and con safety.
