MCM Comic Con - London |
Comic Con is a comic convention for people who love comics, computer games, Marvel and DC movies, Japanese animation and anything that is mildly related. And I'm not being derogatory when I call these people nerds, on the Comic Con website, this is referred to as "nerd culture". I've known for a while that Frans is a big nerd. He's happiest when he's on his computer or watching a super-hero movie. But I've made my peace with that and so, to try to get some of that reflected adoration, I booked us tickets to the London MCM Comic Convention. Here are the pictures!

An e-sport competition: two teams, six players in each team, and go! |
|
The competition is hotting up! |
|
Cosplay is when you dress up as your favourite character. This guy just dressed up as the copyright warning from Youtube. Nice and easy and really clever! |
|
Frans's favourite computer game, DOTA, is based on "a battle arena from Warcraft". Not sure what that means but I am assured that my definition is accurate. |
|
Some serious Cosplays. The guy in blue was wearing some super-creepy, grey contact lenses! |
|
And this massive, human-sized metal structure was for sale for £8000. |
|
Frans's friend Chris (on the left) and some like-minded costumes. |
|
Light Sabers! |
|
A big fat green pig with an axe! |
|
This enormous creature was an inflatable structure, similar to a jumping castle
|
|
Lots of people at the comic convention. |
|
Many, many people! |
|
The convention was held at the ExCel center in the east of London. |
|
Some classically "east London" converted dockland warehouses. Now they're trendy apartments and offices. |
