The gang at ComicsXF had a great time tabling at Super Jersey Comic Expo in April, selling comics, shirts, prints and copies of The ComicsXF Zine. Seems like we oughtta do it again.
And it sounds like we’ll have the opportunity to do so.
Super Jersey Comic Expo will return April 18 and 19, 2026, to The Dome at Adventure Crossing in Jackson, New Jersey. This time, a portion of proceeds will benefit the Cardinale International Research Institute, a multiple sclerosis research center connected to The Dome through its owner, developer Vito Cardinale, whose wife, Linda, died of MS in 2013.

Super Jersey Comic Expo is coming back to The Dome at Adventure Crossing USA in Jackson, New Jersey, for its fifth (semi)annual event April 18-19, 2026, and this time, it’s not just about comics, art and collectibles: It’s adding a component of hope.
New for 2026, Super Jersey Comic Expo is proud to announce the addition of a charitable initiative that will bring real-world impact beyond the show floor. A generous portion of net ticket proceeds will be donated to the Cardinale International Research Institute, an organization working to end multiple sclerosis through breakthrough research and treatment innovation.
“This cause is deeply personal to the owner of The Dome at Adventure Crossing, Mr. Vito Cardinale, who is our venue partner in this endeavor,” said SJCE co-founder Paul Brown. “After lengthy negotiations to add even more passion and value to the event, we are honored to stand next to Mr. Cardinale and his associates in the effort to bring an end to multiple sclerosis once and for all with his forthcoming state-of-the-art medical campus.”
Super Jersey 2026 promises to build on what made 2025 unforgettable, with key improvements behind the scenes and a production team ready to raise the bar.
“Last year gave us some hard growing pains with our move, but the commercial success was unlike anything we’d ever seen,” said Brown. “For 2026, we’re stomping on the gas to kick MS’ ass.”
Additional changes to the show will include mirrored show hours each day (10 a.m.-5 p.m.), simplified ticketing with larger discounts for weekend passes and groups of 10 or more, as well as an updated show floor layout with a better flow.
Ticket prices, online ticket sales, vendor booth applications and guest announcements will all begin by Sept. 1. Follow @SuperJerseyExpo everywhere for updates.
Super Jersey Comic Expo launched in 2021 (after several COVID-19 pandemic delays) by AJ Blair, Paul Brown and Stanley Kalucki as a one-day “comic show” in Holmdel, New Jersey, that has grown into one of New Jersey’s most passionate and popular independent comic events. It is the largest in the region of its format, at about 75,000 square feet of event space with around 300 total booths.
Locally run and fan-powered, the event features a wide array of comic creator legends, toy dealers, independent artists, actors, cosplay, panels and more, with value and approachability as the two main pillars of their model … outside of comic books, of course.
