The Memphis Comic Expo is racing faster than a speeding bullet to a new venue this year, but there is more to the move than just changing locations.
Show creator Donnie Juengling is taking his creator-focused show, now in its 11th year, to the Memphis Sports & Event Center at 995 Early Maxwell Blvd.
