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 those who appear not to be posing Man, twenty years ago, I used to[...]
I attended the MCM London Comic Con panel for Bodies called From Page To Screen Around the new Netflix crime/sci-fi drama based on the graphic novel by Si Spencer, Dean Ormston, Phil Winslade, Meghan Hetrick, Tula Lotay and Lee Loughridge, which, like the show, is set in four different time zones, with each artist telling their[...]
