Despite previous reports that FanX was canceled for spring 2017, Salt Lake Comic Con announced Wednesday that the event is back on.

Loyalty Launch tickets for the event — which will be held the weekend of March 17 — go on sale Nov. 4, a news release said, and more details about tickets will be announced the week prior to the Loyalty Launch.

"The main goal of FanX 2017 is to produce an intimate, fun, family-oriented, unique and even more affordable FanXperience for our attendees," the release said.

Further details about the event and a news conference will be announced by the end of the year, the release said, with guest announcements beginning in January.

Salt Lake Comic Con said more information will be released on its Facebook group.
