Pop culture fans should mark their calendars for April 15-17, 2016 when the 3rd Annual Midwest Media Expo (M2X) returns to metro Detroit. M2X features popular media platforms such as animation, TV, film, cosplay, literature, video and tabletop gaming, comics, and Internet culture. The three-day round-the-clock event takes place at the Edward Village Hotel (600 Town Center Drive, Dearborn).
The sister convention to the popular Youmacon which takes place annually in Detroit, M2X attracts thousands of attendees to participate in a wide array of interactive live events, special celebrity panels, artist alley, free-to-play gaming, and high–quality fan created programming.
Featured celebrities and special guests include: native Detroiter voice actor Billy West, best known as Stimpy in Ren and Stimpy and as The Professor and Phillip J. Fry in Futurama; Steve Downes, who is the voice of Master Chief from Halo; Greg Weisman, creator of the animated series Gargoyles, Young Justice, and Star Wars Rebels; Kyle Hebert the voice of Ryu of Street Fighter in Wreck It Ralph and Kiba in Naruto and renowned actor Jeffrey Combs famous for his roles in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Transformers Prime. A host of other film and comic stars will join them for the weekend long event celebrating every facet of fandom in the comic-con experience. And best of all, there is never a charge for celebrity autographs.
The convention is categorized into six core tracks:

- Comics — Provide fans with content from artists, writers, and those experienced with the industry and its expansion into other media.
