ScreenRant is continuing our journey across the country with our upcoming presence at Motor City Comic Con, which will have an exciting lineup of panels. Celebrating over 35 years of bringing fans together for a weekend of pop culture love, the convention will be returning to the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.
As with previous years, Motor City Comic Con 2025 will offer everything from moderated panels to seminars, workshops, costume contests and comic book and gaming events from November 14–16. Some of the exciting treats visitors can look forward to include a screening of Twilight followed by an exclusive panel with multiple stars, as well as Free N’ Fun Bingo, a Charmed reunion panel with stars Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs, and a rapid-fire Q&A retrospective with comic veteran Mark Waid, among many others.
Across the three-day weekend, ScreenRant will also be in attendance of Motor City Comic Con 2025, with Joe Deckelmeier hosting eight different panels with guests from throughout the film, TV, comic book and wrestling industries. We will also be checking out the show floor to explore the various cosplayers, celebrity guests, and more in attendance. Below, check out the details of the panels we will be hosting:

4:30-5:30PM • CORNERSTONE II — Step into the world of gothic chills, emotional storytelling, and unforgettable scares with writer-director Mike Flanagan, actress Kate Siegel, and actor Hamish Linklater—the power behind some of the most acclaimed modern horror.
