Sunday saw the 96th Annual Oscars ceremony broadcast live across the world, and for UK audiences it saw the show broadcast on ITV. There is lots to be said about this year’s Oscars, from winners and losers, to poor broadcasting panels – it is safe to say the award season gave us everything we’re used […]
The first London MCM of 2022 has come to a close and if there was a selling point going in (outside of the guests, panels and everything else of course) it would be that this is an MCM that has returned to form in a post-lockdown world. Last October was cautiously treading water but this […]
It was a dark and stormy night on the crime-ridden streets of Gotham as we made our way… Actually it was more like a drizzly Monday evening on the streets of Manchester, where we made our way to a secret location a few minutes walk from Market Street to take part in a special preview […]
I heard about this convention back in January and had been counting the says with excitement since. It felt good to have a convention in my home town again since Collectormania, organised by Showmasters, initially stopped then relaunched in Birmingham. A comic convention a leisurely twenty minute walk from my house, yes please! Now I […]
This past weekend saw yet another of Monopoly Events’ UK comic cons take place at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester. Billed less as an actual comic con an instead clumsily titled For the Love of 80s and 90s, the event followed Monopoly Events standard format – a handful of guests, including some marquee names, some […]
You know the first sign that you’re heading in the correct direction for Comic Con? It’s normally seeing a train full of cosplayers and it’s one of the only times where you can strike up a conversation with a group of strangers without that typical British awkwardness. I have missed Comic Con since October and […]
A few years ago Nerdly, or as it was known back then Blogomatic3000, were regular attendees of the Leeds-based Thought Bubble Comic Convention – one of the few ACTUAL comic cons that focused on comics and their creators, be they indie comics or comics from the big two companies. Between moving down south and then […]
Now in it’s tenth year, Wales Comic Con takes place at Glyndwr University in Wrexham – apparently chosen for its excellent transport links (the university is literally next door to Wrexham railway station) and NOT for it’s compatibility for hosting a comic con! Yes, it’s a case of another convention outgrowing its “local” status, mainly […]
It’s been quite some time since team Nerdly attended MCM Comic Con Birmingham, in fact its been 4 years – thanks to the terrible winter weather which put the kibosh on attending the Birmingham event back in March – since we were a part of the last NEC event. And in the intervening years a […]
The weekend of November 10th-11th saw some of team Nerdly make the 3-hour trek up to Edinburgh for the inaugural Comic Con Scotland event which, given the guest list, had also been dubbed “For the Love of 80s.” Not really surprising also given that this convention was put on by the folks at Monopoly Events […]
MegaCon Orlando is a yearly event that takes place in Orlando, Florida at the Orange County Convention Centre, catering to all kinds of fans. Love horror… this convention is for you, love Doctor who… this convention is for you, love animé… this convention is for you, love Marvel, love DC. This convention is for you! […]
You could be forgiven thinking there is no more room in hell, as the dead dawned on London yesterday. But don’t panic, the end of the world is not here; it was all part of an annual charity event called World Zombie Day: London and this year they are raising money for St Mungo’s to help […]
As someone who has attended a myriad of conventions here in the UK for almost a decade – from small local events like Burnley’s Star Wars Fan Fun Day and Chorley’s Stars & Cars, to the big boys like MCM London, Manchester AND Birmingham and Showmaster’s events like the London Film and Comic Con – the article […]
