What is a comic-con and why is it such fun? Initially, comic-cons used to be events focusing on comic books and comic book culture, however, nowadays comic-cons cover multi-genre entertainment such as films, TV and gaming and have made being ‘geeky’ cool. A comic-con is a brief escape from reality where pop culture, ie sci-fi, superheroes, zombies, fantasy, etc., can be experienced all in one room. You can meet guests from the world of film and TV as well as seeing attractions to admire and interact with.
There are geeky traders selling everything from art to collectibles, items that you simply will not be able to find on the high street. People of all ages can come along in costume, maybe of their favourite film or comic book character, as it is an opportunity to show off your geeky side.
