Corinth Comic Con Returns to Crossroads Arena on Halloween

Halloween in Corinth will have a pop-culture twist this year. The Corinth Comic Con returns for its seventh year on Saturday, Oct. 31, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Crossroads Arena, 2800 S. Harper Road.

Organizers promise vendors, celebrity voice actors, gaming and card tournaments, tabletop games, a cosplay contest, live wrestling and family activities. Advance tickets are $20 plus service fees online, according to the event’s website. Fans can skip the fees by buying advance tickets in cash at Corinth Gaming Center.

Huber is known for voicing Android 17 in Dragon Ball Z, and Whyte voiced Chris Redfield in early Resident Evil games, the Daily Corinthian reported. Organizers note the schedule is subject to change.

Cosplay Contest

Gaming, Cards and Wrestling

Gamers can play Street Fighter 6 and other titles, along with free-play games all day. Card players will find Magic: The Gathering events, including a Vintage Cube draft and Commander play, plus Pokémon trading. Tabletop fans can join two Dungeons & Dragons one-shot adventures at 1 and 3 p.m. or try free-play board games. EPW Wrestling closes the day at 6 p.m. in the main hall.
