EDINBURGH COMIC CON Another comic-fi lled weekend comes to the capital
Get your dose of all things comic-related this spring at the sixth annual Edinburgh Comic Con. Returning to the EICC, this family-friendly event invites comic, fi lm and TV fans of all ages to browse stalls, meet comic creators, pick up exclusive prints and editions, and enthuse about their favourite series or shows.
Star guests include Joshua Seth of Akira and Digimon fame (there will also be a screening of Akira after his event) as well as Nicholas Brendon, Iyari Limon and Indigo from iconic TV show Buffy, who’ll be taking part in a Q&A. Big names in comics include Kevin Nowlan, Mike Norton, Colin MacNeil and Emma Beeby. All talks and screenings are included in the price of
the tickets and in the massive marketplace you’ll be able to fi nd everything from bestselling titles to small press masterpieces. This year the popular arcade area packed with
classic gaming machines will be bigger than ever and there will be more photo opportunities and competitions, including the annual cosplay awards. Expect to see plenty of much-loved TV and comic book characters wandering around the space (you don’t have to be gunning for a prize to dress up, you can do it just for fun too) and more comics than even the most dedicated collector could ever need.
