Thousands attended the event, with many cosplaying as their favourite characters from comic books, films and TV shows.

There were workshops, discussion panels, exhibitions, local talent, vendors and toys. The varied vendors brought a unique collection to the venue, with items from comics and cosplay to anime and movie memorabilia.

Seasoned Comic Con veteran, comedian and Egon Spengler lookalike Des O’Gorman returned to host the action.

This was the second time the Comic Con has been held, after last year’s event was deemed as huge success, with more than 3000 people attending.
