MCM Comic Con events are the UK and Ireland’s and most exciting pop culture shows, and the only UK based shows that bring together such a broad scope of popular culture categories including; Movies, Gaming, Comics, Anime, Television, Gadgets, Clothing and Toys.

There was a strong crime contingent too, with stars from NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles and Murdoch Mysteries all on the case.

This is the third time I've attended this event. I only managed to attend for a single day since most of the ticket had sold out, unfortunately. Nevertheless, it was a brief yet enjoyable experience.
Alright, enough talking, more pictures.
