(HILLSBOROUGH, NJ) -- Nuff Sed Events, LLC, producers of Super Jersey Comic Expo (SJCE), announced that Super Jersey Comic Expo 2026 will now take place at Iron Peak Sports & Events in Hillsborough, New Jersey, on April 18–19, 2026.
The move to Iron Peak Sports & Events supports a larger show footprint, enhanced operational capacity, and a more robust on-site experience for fans, creators, vendors, and partners—while preserving SJCE’s core identity as the largest comics-first independently-produced convention in the tri-state area.
“Super Jersey Comic Expo exists to celebrate comic storytelling and the creators who bring it to life,” said Paul Brown, Co-Creator and Producer of Super Jersey Comic Expo. “Iron Peak gives us the space and infrastructure to scale what we do best- bigger, smoother, and more guest- focused while strengthening the charitable spirit that we committed to for next year’s event.”
Todd Reddington, Events Director of Iron Peak says “We’re incredibly excited to host this Comic Expo as it aligns perfectly with our core values of bringing together creativity, community, and fandom. Events like this transform our space into an immersive experience — not just a place to gather, but a place where fans can celebrate the stories, characters, and artists they love. We’re proud to provide a dynamic setting that supports creators, engages attendees of all ages, and helps make this expo a truly memorable experience.”
Iron Peak Sports & Event’s facility feels like the perfect home for a weekend of superhero family fun with climbing walls and a rope course that we hope to turn into a Superhero Training Center for the weekend, in addition to a large arcade, golf simulators, concession stands and an elevated spot to eat and imbibe called Summit Bar.
What’s New for 2026
Super Jersey Comic Expo 2026 will introduce several upgrades designed to improve the attendee and exhibitor experience, including:
* A larger venue footprint at Iron Peak Sports & Events to support expanded programming and a more comfortable show environment.
* Beefed-up internal staffing to strengthen operations, guest experience, exhibitor support, and day-of execution.
* Guaranteed free parking for attendees and exhibitors all weekend, as paid for by the event producers.
* Enhanced show layout and logistics, including clearer operational flow across the weekend.
* Upgraded ancillary space such as an elevated VIP ticket holder green room, and a separate conference room that will hold screenings and meet & greets.
Updated Charitable Mission
For 2026, SJCE will continue its charitable component and is currently finalizing a new beneficiary organization aligned with MS support and research. The official beneficiary will be announced through Super Jersey Comic Expo’s official channels once confirmed.
