Someone at CM asked me about the venue:
I've never been there, so I am not sure what is a good or bad venue in that region.
However, my email from CGC (which is a comic book grading company) said this:
This weekend, from the 16th through the 18th, CGC will be set up at the Motor City Comic Con in Novi, MI! This show has been growing steadily over the years and recently moved to the Rock Financial Showplace which is the perfect venue for this great convention.
And my email from Mile High Comics (a buyer and seller of bulk older comics) said: This week's trip will take me to Novi (Detroit), Michigan, for this weekend's Motor City Con. I have attended Motor City several times in the past, and they have always proven to be wonderful places to locate old comics.
So I don't know how the Rock Financial Showplace compares to other convention space in the area. It looks nice from this picture I suppose:
As far as comics talent that I have heard of, featured guests include: Dick Ayers (Sgt. Fury), Al Feldstein (Mad, Tales from the Crypt), Authur Suydam (Marvel Zombies), Billy Tan(X-23), Herb Trimpe (Incredible Hulk), Bernie Wrightson (Swamp Thing, House of Mystery). There are a slew of decent entertainment guests too. I know my wife is looking forward to meeting Billy Dee Williams! Go Lando!
