MCM Comic Con is coming for you, wherever you live, it seems. The British Comic Con organiser, responsible for the MCM London Comic Con, and then spinning off around the country, went abroad this year, with shows in Ireland and Sweden And that's just the start. This year saw two MCM London Comic Cons, as well as MCM[...]

The Island Of Doctor Geof is a favourite stop at the MCM London Comic Con for me, since they went all mahogany Steampunk isn't exactly new at such gatherings, but this is steampunk with a very silly flavour,  emphasis on tea making, cross dressing and insect husbandry. And this show's new offering concentrates on the lifespan[...]

I took the girls to MCM London Comic Con 2014 yesterday – the first show they've been to where they were prepared to perform themselves, with their Minecraft swords And the first place they got attention from others from carrying them It was quite a revelation! And the journey was also transformed, the McDonalds at London[...]

I bumped into David Hine on the Dockland Light Railway platform heading into yesterday's MCM London Expo, laden down as he was with comics to sell – including his signed script-with-a-signed-comic innovative way for writers to, basically, do what artists do at comic conventions. He also told me of his current plans and some work on[...]

Talking to the Kill Shakespeare folk at MCM London Comic Con, I learned that, now that this revisionist Shakespeare comic book has been transformed into a board game and a stage show, Kill Shakespeare is moving to new media. Such as a radio drama adaptation of the series, to be broadcast by Audible.com, who are moving[...]

At the MCM London Comic Con yesterday, I had the immense pleasure to meet Richard Starking once more, signing and selling plenty of Elephantmen comics at the Travelling Man pavilion.

Oops, this one fell through the cracks a little… Frank Spotnitz, and Adam Rayner were talking up the new BBC/HBO TV action series Hunted at MCM London Expo, and showing off the first five minutes of next week's episode Including how they get past last week's rather explosive cliffhanger… and it does indeed involve a little[...]

MCM London Expo has outgrown the area it takes up of the London ExCel and needs to expand., Everywhere was full but some places, say the bottleneck between the showfloor and the cosplay area was dangerous Vendors weren't too pleased with the crowds in places either, with crowds trying to get past blocking any traffic[...]

This was more than they could accomodate.It was a case of first come, first served as the man went to town trying to fit in as many as he could. I managed to get backstage for a quick peek at proceedings, which also made my daughter's day, and after I managed to persuade security that I[...]
