After several successful years, MCM Comic Con comes back to the Excel, London, over the weekend of 26th – 28th May. You may want to get an autograph or photo with your favourite star, enter one of the cosplay competitions or just go for good old shop, this year looks to be one of the biggest yet. So here is everything you need to know about this jam packed event!

This year’s attractions include a Comic Village, which showcase the largest gathering of comic creators in the UK and has a gigantic line up, literally 50 odd guests. There will also be a number of panels, international Cosplay including competitions, stalls and shops, a special Game Of Thrones ‘Iron Throne’ Experience, eSports, Games Expo and of course, special guests!
