Florida Supercon at the Miami Beach Convention Center

The Florida Supercon is one of Miami's biggest comic book conventions, and one of the largest in the nation. What began as a small gathering of about 1500 people in Hollywood, Florida, has escalated into a star-studded event that boasts crowds of up for 43,000. The convention found its newest home in 2014 when it moved from the Miami Airport Convention Center to the larger Miami Beach Convention Center. Comic book vendors from all over attend the event to sell comics and collectibles. Artists and writers sit at dozens of tables throughout the event, showcasing their latest works, selling autographed copies and taking photos and answering questions from fans, new and old. Celebrities from comic book, sci-fi and fantasy films and television shows are always in attendance, giving convention guests the chance to meet their favorite stars, gather autographs and enjoy photo ops. Panels, films, costume contests, video game tournaments, stand-up and sketch comedy, and live music are all among the activities to enjoy while at the con.
