Mumbai Comic Con makes a big splash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mumbai Film and Comics Convention<\/a> which took place at the World Trade Center in Cuffe Parade is a paradise for comic book lovers and geeks. Since we at Techdivine<\/a> are comic\u00a0aficionados\u00a0as well, it was obvious that we would definitely attend it. And it didn’t disappoint at all. For those who couldn’t make it, worry not, we will give you a short visual experience of the amazing stuff we witnessed.<\/p>\n

Volunteers at the entrance gave us a Comic Con wrist band which we were flaunting for quite a while later. Even as we were walking towards the venue, we could see a lot of cosplayers in varied costumes arriving in hordes.<\/p>\n

As soon as you stepped crossed the threshold, you were treated to an amazing mash up collage poster of different cartoon characters in one huge poster.<\/p>\n

Take a second to enlarge this image and see the amount of details and characters this behemoth of a poster contains. Phantom, Gandalf<\/a>, Tintin<\/a>, Chacha Chaudhary<\/a>, Archie<\/a>, Gollum trying to steal Mr. India’s watch are just among a few of the characters you will notice.<\/p>\n

The venue was lined with stalls selling\u00a0various\u00a0items, from comics, graphic novels, bobbleheads,\u00a0collectible\u00a0figures, t-shirts, posters and what not. It was like christmas had come early. We had a hard time trying not to run around from stall to stall like maniacs drooling over some of the mind blowing collections on display. Where else can you could buy a Bane bobblehead, Game Of Thrones<\/a> playing cards, Bazinga<\/a> t-shirts, limited edition comic books from dozens of well known publishers or well, you get my drift. I will let the pictures do the talking.<\/p>\n

Here is Bane next to Thor’s hammer and Buzz Lightyear.<\/p>\n

A free complimentary comic that we\u00a0received at The Content Company stall<\/a>. You could also enter a contest at this stall by clicking a photo with their merchandise and posting it on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\"Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n

The Beast legion<\/a> graphic novel had created a lot of buzz around. We heard a lot of positive word of mouth publicity and did check out the stall. This series does hold some promise. Make sure to keep an eye out for it.<\/p>\n

\"Beast<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you know that the Big B<\/a> had his own comic series back in the day? Neither did we! That’s why we were pleasantly surprised when we stumbled across this interesting\u00a0piece\u00a0of information.<\/p>\n

These are just a few images that we captured from the event. There were a plethora of\u00a0experiences to be had. Interesting contests, special events conducted, celebrities to be spotted and a lot more. This was definitely an experience that would remain embedded in our minds\u00a0\u00a0for quite a while. We can’t wait for the next Comic Con<\/a> to be held in Mumbai. Until then, “Live long and prosper!”<\/p>\n
