Los Angeles Comic Con Didn't Live Up To Hype Because It Had None
Blizzcon is well underway so a lot of people might have already forgotten that there was a convention in Los Angeles last week. Stan Lee's Los Angeles Comic Con (formerly Comikaze) took over the South Hall of the Los Angeles convention center with the promises of a good time for all. I was lucky enough to attend last year and had a great time so I had high hopes. However, as the convention drew closer, there were some warning sighs that, in hindsight I should have picked up on.

MCM Comic Con London 2017
So last weekend, I attended MCM Comicon at the Excel centre in London and of course, it was spectacular! It was a geek's dream! It just gets bigger and bigger every year, which is amazing. This year, Marvel was the biggest hit of the con; covering about 30–40 percent of the centre. There were statues such as Iron Man, the Hulk, Spiderman, Groot, and much more! I never really checked out the statues as much because I was too busy at the food stalls! There were also stalls with mystery boxes, shirts, hoodies, keychains, and anything nerdy you can think of. My guilty pleasure was Funko Pops. They're collectable pops that come in various different genres such as movies, TV shows, anime, and video games. I currently own all of the overwatch pops thanks to Forbidden Planet at Comic Con. You should go check them out! They're full of geeky things!

An Afternoon at Alcon's Cosplay Café
Alcon 2017 was my first Alcon. It wasn't the best convention that I've been to, but I can still say that I enjoyed myself. I heard that a lot of people enjoyed the previous versions of Alcon more. Some have vowed never to return. But I will try my best to avoid discussing the AL drama here for the time being.

Geeks Do Go to Heaven
Hello everyone! I am Christopher F. Benson and this is my first foray into this social media website. I hope in the future that I might be able to share with all of you the inner workings of my mind and the many vast and numerous experiences that I have had. One of which I would like to share with you now.

The Art and Magic of Comic Con (UK)
Comic Con carries its own stigma, but that’s okay. A lot of things have labels now, and people are guilty for turning that into part of our society. However, Comic Con simply acts as a base ground where a certain labelled group of people can go and geek out and have a great day together. And I for one are not ashamed of that and nor should I be.
