MCM Comic Con Arrives at NEC, Birmingham

Towards the end of November, the Bullring in Birmingham was full of Christmas shoppers who could be confused for zombies from one of George Romero’s satirical films about consumerism. For one weekend at least, the people of the West Midlands had a welcome antidote for such activities as Comic Con visited town.

Visitors were able to enjoy two great shows for the price of one, with Birmingham Comic Con ticket holders also gaining entrance to Memorabilia, Britain’s biggest collectors’ event.

Any show that features video-games, cosplay, comics, anime and collectables sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday to us here at This Is My Joystick, so we sent our very own Smiley Dave to check out what the show(s) had to offer. –
