After
the success of last year's Oldham Comic Con,
the event was upgraded from Oldham Library to The much larger Queen
Elizabeth Hall. I dropped in on Saturday 11th.
The
Aliens and Aliens versus Predator graphic novels were bought; the
rest were free comics given on entry.
Although
the event was bigger than last year's, there really wasn't as much on
offer: last year saw the now-deceased Carlos Ezquerra, creator of
Judge Dredd, as well as Anthony Johnson, creator of Atomic
Blonde, which was adapted for the screen and released around that
time. This year I didn't recognise any people or their creations.
The
con included a few stage discussions and workshops in side rooms-
'Tell Us a Story' sounded an interesting talk- but these were an hour
long, way longer than I was hoping. Apparently you needed at least an
hour to learn anything. I passed.
Not as good as good as last year's. Third time lucky?
