It’s that time of year again and we love it!
Yes, its the first of two Comic Cons in London 2018 and it is when our most nerdy and geeky desires and fantasies come to play.
The thing about Comic Con, is that it’s a place for gamers, Anime, Film/TV and Manga lovers alike to form together and just be down right nerdy, interact, network if you like and DRESS UP as your FAV characters and not be judged but praised as you parade down those long and spacious halls of the ExCeL: London. It definitely feels like the one place we can all gather and just be ourselves, but with a shit load of other people, which makes it even more epic!
Now I have never personally dressed up myself, I’ve always wanted to but never have to time to dedicate to creating anything nor the confidence for that matter. But the sheer amount of time, effort and love the community puts into there costumes each time never seize to amaze me. For just three days that cossy will be showcased and you bet some of those guys spent a pretty penny in creating their favourite character at the time. So make sure to always give props to those you see dressed up this weekend – even if you find it strange whilst sitting on the London Underground and see an abundance of Lolita’s dressed in bright pink and frills.
So, moving along let’s take a quick look at what’s to offer by the MCM crew for this weekend!
