Pop Culture Favorite Motor City Comic Con Continues Through Sunday

Looking for something fun and funny this weekend to do this weekend?

There are still two more days to get an autograph from the “Bionic Woman” (Lindsay Wagner), take a selfie with “Star Trek’s” Captain Kirk (William Shatner), rub shoulders with legendary “Spider-Man” Gerry Conway or look for a rare first-edition comic book at Motor City Comic Con.

A much-anticipated pop culture favorite in Michigan, the convention continues through Sunday at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Michigan. This is the 25th anniversary show.

More than 30,000 visitors – many dressed as their favorite comic book characters – are expected to have visited the convention before it closes Sunday, The Detroit Free Press reports.

Among the celebrities on hand Friday was John Barrowman of the “Dr. Who” spinoff, “Torchwood,” who was in Michigan for first time.

He told the Free Press that conventions like this one give him a chance to “meet the people who have given me this unbelievable life I have.”

“For me, it’s a chance to connect and be face-to-face with the fans who have changed my life,” he said.
