Comic Con in Pictures


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.
