Astronomicon is not to be confused with a comic con because this event is anything but comic books. Many comic con events have morphed into other areas like movies and cosplay but that is where Astonomicon begins.

Astronomicon features concerts, cosplay contests for adults and children, tattoo contests, beer events, movie nights, trivia contests and so much more. That "much more" includes a lot of opportunities to meet some of your favorite celebrities.

Awesome Cosplay from the 2022 Motor City Comic Con

I have never been to a comic con before, but I knew going into it that many people choose to wear very elaborate and detailed costumes and garb of their favorite pop culture icons. Whether it was from a Disney movie, an epic comic book, a live-play Dungeons and Dragons show, or somewhere in between, there were plenty of people who put their talent to use to create some awe-inspiring cosplay looks. Check out some of the awesome cosplay in the gallery below, and get a sneak peek at what it's like to attend a comic con.
