At the IDW panel at MCM London Expo, it was announced by editor Dirk Wood that Tony Lee will indeed be returning to the Doctor Who comic in September as we surmised, replacing Andy Diggle for a four part story called 'Dead Man's Hand' that runs from issue #13, through the 50th anniversary period.

Patrick Dane writes for Bleeding Cool Here in the UK the full-on Summer Con season kicks off with the next MCM Expo, running from 24th to 26th of May. Amongst this year's guests will be a series of very good, and not coincidentally well-loved, screenwriters As well as hanging about for signings, they're going to throw panels[...]

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[...]

MCM London Expo has opened with a panel with the cast and crew of Misfits… Howard Overman, Joseph Gilgun and the new cast Karla Crome, Nathan McMullen and Matt Stokoe We got a trailer featuring bicycle-mounted ninjas, giant rabbits, killer nuns, chainsaws, dancing Rudy, and a priest telling the cast "you know what happens when you[...]

This is the first MCM Expo since the release of Cockneys Vs Zombies I do hope we get a reprieve of it somewhere Set in the Docklands, MCM is Britain's largest comic convention, though it is dominated by anime, TV, films and gaming Nevertheless, there is a strong comics and manga prescence at the show,[...]

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[...]

Lil Johna writes for Bleeding Cool from the MCM Manchester Expo. First of all I have to say this was my first con, and I loved it, even though I was on my own (I don't have any friends who are into comics) and I probably missed the best parts My con started late at 12.15[...]

Over the last couple of weeks there has been growing irritation, annoyance and indeed anger about an individual who is being dubbed by some as the British Rob Granito. An unnamed individual exhibiting at a number of British comic conventions, including Birmingham Comics Expo, Kapow and London MCM, who sells prints of copyrighted characters Nothing unusual[...]

And their latest acquisition, only one Marv Wolfman. And at the London MCM Expo this weekend, it was announced that the property that Mike Wolfman, co-creator of Blade, Crisis On Infinite Earths and the New Teen Titans, would be reviving in comics form was Time Crisis, the laser pistol arcade game franchise that began in the[...]

Next weekend, Britain's lergest comics conventuion, the MCM London Expo, have basically handed over the comics side to ShiftyLook. They've brought in creators such as Marv Wolfman, Ben McCool, Dean Haspiel, Matt Moylan, Dax Gordine and Jim Zubkavich to the UK – including the launch of Wolfman's comic for ShiftyLook on Friday in their panel at[...]

Still on the horizon are MCM Expo (London), Kapow (London),  2D Festival (Derry), Thought Bubble (Leeds), and probably loads I haven't remembered! The fact is, with so many shows, creators are suffering from "convention fatigue" Cons take up a lot of work time, for professionals Very few have their expenses covered, unless they are guests of[...]

I attended the MCM London Expo this weekend Met up with friends, found some cool stories, saw lots of cool comics, costumes and finery and my two daughters enjoyed themselves too But not everyone seems to have had a great time. Ian Sharman is a comic book creator who has created his own mini-publishing empire as[...]

What a fun day that was. And what fun costumes! Stories to come tomorrow but for now, here are a few to enjoy,with special praise for the feline costume

The London Super Comic Convention is a new London-based comic book convention set for February 2012, using the same location at the biannual MCM, the ExCel Centre in the East End of London. The organisers are a mysterious lot, the most I could find out was through the website being registered to a doctor operating in[...]

So I took the kids to Comic Con. They loved having photos taken "with princesses", they drew on the Artist tables and they charmed convention organisers

BBC3's The Fades was previewed for the first time at the MCM Expo London today The footage shown involved ghosty things, old men, sexy women, yoots, people with guns, and lots and lots of shadows Oh and someone vomiting a live moth. They were also handing out these flyers Courtesy of my scanner, consider this a[...]

Has to go THIS WEEK! Just to remind, here is TokyoPop's stall at MCM Expo this weekend; This is how a comics publisher ends, not with a bang but with a whimper. And selling the company's neon sign on Craigslist Huge TOKYOPOP neon logo sign, used as the official hallsign at the TOKYOPOP US office. Dimensions: Width:[...]

So the Preview Day at MCM London Expo It's more of a meet and greet today, a chance for an extended set up as people without jobs come to the show. However, Emma Vieceli is in her tiara, Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood are in their waistcoats, Harry Markos is trying not to get thrown out,[...]

We've already had one Comic Con War in London this year, what with Kapow and MCM London Expo blasting each other in the spring with rather pointed press releases and comments. Kapow PR, often via Mark Millar, deliberately ignored MCM, as if it didn't exist, proclaiming a uniqueness for Kapow over a number of attributes that[...]

But he will be at MCM London Expo, held in the London Docklands at the end of the month We hope. The Comic Village section of MCM London Expo, run by acclaimed comics creator in her own right, Emma Vieceli, will also star Jamie McKelvie, Kieron Gillen, John McCrea, Gary Erskine, Becky Cloonan and more[...]

Feathers were ruffled, and the tension, well you could say it was electric! While the motion comic isn't launching until October, a preview will make its debut at MCM London Expo next month. Written by Leah Moore and John Reppion, designed by Emma Vieceli, drawn/animated by the all-female Windflower Studio, and produced by Hattrick[...]

And suddenly MCM London Expo in the Docklands jumps up and say "look at us!" Bleeding Cool has already covered the passive aggressive war between the two London shows, but things had settled of late But with Kapow continuing to claim that it's bringing San Diego Comic Con to London, while MCM thinks that's what they'd[...]

To be presented at the MCM London Expo, here are the nominations for the Eagle Awards. I note that Bleeding Cool is nominated for favourite website We lost last year to Comic Book Resources We probably will do again Unless Girls Read Comics Too pulls ahead. I'm going to see if I can vote 5,000 times[...]

The MCM London Expo I used to be terribly snobbish about this sort of media/cosplay fair and had some bad experiences when young Then I went to this one and everything changed You get caught up in the joy, the love, the fact that there are stacks of seventeen year old women buying their first[...]
