This year will be monumental as it embarks on its 30th year and is expected to be the biggest convention in their history.

Motor City Comic Con will be held at the Suburban Collection Showplace at 46100 Grand River Avenue in Novi. 

Motor City Comic Con will utilize Suburban Collection Showplace's newly expanded 180,000 square foot space by adding more events, exhibitors, media guests and comic guests as well as plans to introduce new concepts.

Fans can expect to experience Sporcle trivia and speed dating along with more exciting activities to be announced.

This annual event attracts over 60,000 attendees each year with the opportunity to increase attendance for 2019.

Fans can still expect all their traditional favorites such as Cosplay Contest with celebrity judges, an after-party on Saturday night and many kid-friendly activities.

Founder and Convention Promotor, Michael Goldman says, "When Motor City Comic Con was founded back in 1989, it started from my passion for collecting comic books introduced to me by my father. We had a couple thousand attendees our first year to over 60,000 last year. Our fans have been so supportive over the years and we are grateful. I am happy to be here 30 years later and offering more content and interaction. We plan to continue to grow and impress for another 30 plus years."
