Strangely
enough, queueing to get in and going through security was probably one of the
highlights of the event. There were Stormtroopers singing ‘Let it go’ to every Elsa
that passed (and there were quite a few) as well as many Deadpool Bob Ross
incarnations.
Once
inside, the atmosphere of the whole event was so inclusive it felt very
welcoming. We dawdled within the crowds, spotting the fantastic costumes visitors
were wearing and browsing the many, many stalls. Possibly my favourite bit was
the comic area where artists sat doodling and selling their own comics or
graphic novels.

A
major highlight however was watching a real Robot War with the famous Apollo in
the arena. Up close the machines were even more impressive than on TV, and the
children in the audience seemed particularly in awe.
I
would definitely go back to another Comic Con, but not so much for the fighting
robots, the stalls or the professional appearances, but for the guests on the
day, all dressed up in their cosplay finest, looking absolutely fantastic. It
was also extremely family friendly, which contributed to the relaxed feel.
