A Celebration of Creativity and Community
Why do so many people flock to this event? According to celebrated novelist and comic book writer, Charles Soule, it’s all about connecting with fans. “One of the sides of it I particularly love is coming to things like this, because this is where you really get to interact with the fans directly, and see how the stories you’ve written have connected with people,” he explains. And it’s not just about the authors; it’s about a community that shares a love for creativity!
From a Halloween Delight to a Thriving Collective
One of the standout groups at the convention is the Detroit Ghostbusters. Eric Lindlow, a member of this iconic team, shares a bit of their journey: “So it started off as a Halloween thing, right? Then we kinda became a group, now we’ve got a whole team of people. So how long…over a decade now.” Just imagine the memories they’ve created and the lives they’ve touched through their love for the franchise!
Something for Everyone
As you step into the bustling convention hall, it truly feels like entering another universe! The vibrant atmosphere is filled with incredible cosplays, showcasing everything from classic comic characters to the latest hits in movies and TV shows. Jacob Shuman, a representative of Motor City Comic Con, notes, “Absolutely, every time we get a lot more people saying it’s their first convention, and every time they come back for the next one.” There’s a magic in seeing the enthusiasm of first-timers, which adds a unique charm to the event.
Crowd-Watching and Cosplay
And let’s not forget about the amazing cosplays! Shuman explains, “Definitely the cosplays. Getting to people watch, standing in the middle of the floor and being entertained all day with the amount of effort people put into what they do at home, and getting to come in here for the weekend dressed up as something.” It’s a chance for fans to showcase their dedication and creativity while enjoying a weekend full of excitement.

Or maybe you can’t get enough of Pokémon? No matter your preference, there’s an abundance of activities, vendors, and artwork that keeps people returning year after year. Shuman highlights this saying, “there’s something for everybody that keeps people coming back year after year to take a break from reality, and enjoy a little bit in the fantasy world as well.”
