The first Portsmouth Comic Con was held in May 2018, and wow, has this event grown and evolved since it's impressive begining. I'm really looking forward to attending Portsmouth Comic Con again this year; and again having the opportunity to share my experience and photos from the event.
Who's been following long enough to remember my attire from that first event?

If you haven't attended before, here's an introduction to the event from the organisers.
"Portsmouth Comic Con – International Festival of Comics returns bringing you the best in Comics, Film, TV and Pop Culture entertainment! Welcoming some of the greatest writers and illustrators in the industry, alongside stars of the screen and the wonderful world of cosplay! With panels, displays, exhibitions, gaming, VR, Steampunk and an incredible range of merch and collectables. If you’re serious about comics, love Marvel/DC and cult series or are simply looking for a fun day out for all the family – this is the event for you."
I have so enjoyed attending this event in the past, the conversations, comics, panels, experience spaces and cosplay. And yes, I'm very happy to have the excuse to re-share some photos from last year.
This year's event is happening on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th May (insert Star Wars line here), and will once again be held at Portsmouth Guildhall. There's more information on their website and social media pages, so go follow them to get all the up to date information and announcements, including the panels, workshops and cosplay schedules for both days.
Check out their April event update, here.
I look forward to hopefully seeing you at Portsmouth Comic Con in around a months time, on 3rd and 4th May.
