Mid-Hudson Comic Con turns Poughkeepsie’s MJN Convention Center into a two-day gathering for comic-book, gaming, anime, and cosplay fans. The 2026 celebrity lineup has a strong “Red Dead Redemption” contingent, including Roger Clark, the performance-capture actor behind Arthur Morgan; Rob Wiethoff, who portrays John Marston; Alex McKenna, who plays Sadie Adler; Peter Blomquist, the voice and motion-capture performer for Micah Bell; and Kaili Vernoff, who plays Susan Grimshaw. Guests will sign autographs both days, with autograph and photo-op fees charged separately. The weekend also features guest artists, a packed sales floor, gaming, panel discussions, and family-friendly cosplay competitions with trophies and certificates. Costumes must remain PG-13. Doors open at 10am on August 1 and 2, with programming running until 5pm Saturday and 3pm Sunday. Advance adult day passes are $27 for Saturday and $25 for Sunday; children ages 7-15 are $18 each day, and children six and under attend free.
