When you spend a good chunk of your day covering news and writing opinions on a range of topics that are the most fun-loving and cheerful, it's a nice reboot to our brains when we can report on something very cool and very decent. It's especially nice when it involves two of our favorite subjects. […]
@alericheck How Comic Con's Founder Created Cosplay by Mistake Ever wonder how cosplay at comic conventions actually started? On the Marketing Minds podcast, I had Gareb Shamus, founder of Comic Con and Wizard Magazine, reveal this surprising origin story that most fans don't know. Back in the mid-90s before the internet existed, Gareb had a […]
It's good to be at MegaCon Live in 2025! The show from Malo Events, following MegaCon Live shows in Dublin, Birmingham and Manchester, co-founder of MCM Comic Con, Bryan Cooney. The show is around a third of the size of MCM, which is bigger than MCM when it began, and has grown since last year. Attendance […]
Getting to London MegaCon Live 2025 at the ExCel Centre in London this weekend was a bit of a trial. The Dockland Light Railway had been closed for engineering, which wouldn't have been an issue if the Elizabeth Line, which makes travel to the ExCel a dream, also suddenly closed on the Saturday due to […]
MCM London Comic Con October 2024 is over, and as ever, the cosplay was the biggest in the UK. It's always a fun way to see where the trends are. What impacted this year, and what people are most excited to see. And while there was plenty of Deadpool – including a Dogpool – we […]
Ten days ago, Bleeding Cool stated that GlobalComix was going to announce that they were going to start publishing a DC Comics digital line as part of their offering, a major move for both publishers and potentially the start of a consolidation of digital comic books away from what is left of Kindle and Comixology. […]
This year, at London Film And Comic-Con, Bleeding Cool had our own backdrop, courtesy of Showmasters and the show. So it would be a shame not to use it for cosplay purposes, would it not? Here's just a small selection of the cosplay folk at the show – or at least, those who came by […]
Willy's Chocolate Experience was an unlicensed "lookalike" event unofficially based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Willy Wonka movies that made worldwide headlines after its opening in Glasgow, Scotland. Especially the "surprise" character known as… The Unknown. Well, it seems that The Unknown escaped the Glasgow baying mob and heading down south, turning […]
That was MegaCon Live London 2024, the now-contractually-allowed inaugural London show from Malo Events. And following MegaCon Live shows in Dublin, Birmingham and Manchester, from co-founder of MCM Comic Con, Bryan Cooney. The show is around a quarter of the size of MCM, which is also about the size of MCM when it began. However, […]
The final day of Thought Bubble Comic Con in Harrogate has now finished. As a comic con, it's not as cosplay-focused as some, with a greater focus on comic books. But there was plenty about. And Sunday, a quieter day than the Saturday, held another, smaller cosplay parade, to follow that from yesterday. The hot […]
Thought Bubble Comic Con in Harrogate isn't as cosp[lay focused as some shows; it's more about the comic books. But you can't keep a good cosplayer army down, and at Thought Bubble this weekend, fine designs were on display – and on the catwalk, courtesy of the cosplay parade sponsored by Dead Northern at the […]
Yesterday was the final day of the MCM London Comic Con October 2023 show. The sun stayed away this weekend in London, and we were showered with… showers. Which is not conducive to cosplay, especially with the drawing-in nights exacerbated by putting the clocks forward on Saturday night, so most of the cosplay at MCM […]
At my last MCM London Comic Con, back in May, I was walking around Artists Alley at MCM London Comic Con, taking photos of the many booths from comic book creators, publishers and illustrators, I was asked by those at one booth if I was the guy who did this last year. I confessed I […]
The sun stayed away this weekend in London, and we were showered with… showers. Which is not conducive to cosplay, especially with the drawing-in nights, so most of the cosplay at MCM London Comic Con October 2023 was inside the London ExCel Centre. Permission was sought from all cosplayers in the foreground of shots, including […]
MCM London Comic Con October 2023 has begun at the ExCel Centre in London's Dockland district. And I am there along with around eighty thousand other folks. This will tip into six figures tomorrow as everyone who can't get away from work turns up. I have found out, though, that Pete Townshend, whom I was […]
Once upon a time, Charlie Cox played my cousin, Jonathan Hellyer Jones, in the movie A Theory Of Everything, alongside Eddie Redmayne, who played Stephen Hawking. So yes, I like to think that, in some ways, my cousin is Daredevil. But, thanks to this past weekend's New York Comic Con, I can now also think […]
Welcome back for our final look at San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Cosplay. This one is a doozy. As the sun begins to set on SDCC the cosplayers left nothing on the tables; they showed off their talents all around the convention center. Cosplayers came in droves to make sure fans had one last chance to […]
Welcome to Day 3 of our San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Cosplay report. SDCC is marching along, and the cosplay has only gotten better across the show floor and around the convention center.
