FantastiCon announces Oct. 27-28 dates for return to Mount Pleasant
Attendees look at prints for sale during FantastiCon on Nov. 11, 2017 at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.
FantastiCon, a local alternative to events like Motor City Comic Con, will return to Mount Pleasant following a successful first show last November.
The event will take place Oct. 27-28 at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort. Advanced ticket prices will be $7.50 for Oct. 27, $5 for Oct. 28 and $10 for a two-day pass. This will be the second time the casino will be hosting FastastiCon.
“We do everything the bigger Comic Cons do, on a smaller and more affordable level,” said Joe Nierporte, who helped organize the event. “It’s a collector’s dream."
Nierporte said last year’s event was a big success and attendance exceeded all expectations. This is the main reason why they are returning to Soaring Eagle.
The event will have plenty of activities to participate in, and plenty of geeky things to buy, Nierporte said. There will be two costume contests (one for kids on Oct. 27 and one for adults on Oct. 28), trivia contests and tables with vendors to sell comic books and toys. Panels with special guests will also be scheduled, though the guest-list is not yet finalized.
Nierporte said there are plenty of open tables for artists and vendors to sell merchandise. Tables are available for purchase from www.fantasticon.net.
