Put on your mask/costume, gather your fellow pop culture friends, and mark your calendars because Oz Comic-Con is back! Perth was the first to have their Comic-Con back in early April, and now it's time for the rest of us to get our Comic-Con fix!
OZ Comic-Con kicked off in Adelaide on June 3rd, and I was lucky enough to check it out for a bit. It's been quite some time since I even remember going to a Comic-Con, but needless to say the place was fairly packed with an awesome array of people dressing up as their favourite characters.
Film and TV guests
This year at Adelaide's Comic-Con, film and television guests included Emily Swallow (The Mandalorian), Aaron Dismuke (Fullmetal Alchemist), Abby Trott (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,) Juliana Harkavy (Arrow), Ryan Colt Levy (Chainsaw Man) and Sarah Wiedenheft (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid).
Cosplay guests
Of course, it wouldn't be a convention without cosplayers, and Adelaide Comic-Con had a few, including JusZ Cosplay, Henchwench & Scrap Shop Props, Faolan Star, Reversetibbers, Scarlet Cosplay and Tiffany Dean Cosplay.
Comic & Author guests
Last but not least, as it's in the name itself, Comic & Authors guests! This year, fans will be delighted to see Alex Trpcevski, Andrew Constant, David Hazan, Demelza Carlton, Gary Proudley, Gestalt Publishing, Kylie Chan, Owen Heitmann, Scott Wilson and Wolfgang Bylsma.
There was also quite a few exhibitors, artists (including tattoo artists) and games to play, including one of my personal favourites, VR Playground where I played Superhot. Or if you prefer going back in time, there's a few retro gaming consoles laying around.
Each Comic-Con will vary from state to state, including some guests. Following from Adelaide will be Melbourne on the long weekend June 10th-11th, Canberra on August 5th-6th, Brisbane on September 16th-17th and Sydney later in September on the 23rd-24th. If you haven't already, be sure to keep an eye out for all the latest updates here.
Have fun, be excellent to each other, and whatever you're playing - happy gaming!
