So last year I attended Manchester Comic Con for the first time it was such a good day out. The only thing i recommend though is by your ticket online first, we did this and waiting in the queue for 3 hours only to get close to the door and see that we could have just walked on in with this pre-bought ticket. We were a bit annoyed to say the least :p I know this for next year now.
This event was different to what I'm usually used to, i normally go to events that have a lot of games there to play wether it be retro on new, however comic con is mostly about buying things, there was a lot of stalls selling gaming merchandise/ games and comics.
There was also a few artists there distributing there work and it was really interesting to look at and exchange some contact cards, one regret i have is that i found a Darth |Maul print that a guy there had drawn, it was so good and only £10 too but for some reason i decided against it, i really wish i would have bought it.
These types of events are a great social and networking place for like minded people to attend, i find visiting these events makes me happy and also gives me more contacts via concept artists etc.
I will be attending next years events hands down as it was all very well organised and a really good day out. Jason Brody was also there the actor that plays the voice of Vaas from Far Cry 3, we missed out of seeing him because the queue was closed when we were about to step in line, its good that these events hold the chances to meet these people.
Here are some pictures from the day :)
