MCM Comic Con is back, returning to the UK capital after a successful reintroduction last October.

The event made some changes due to Covid restrictions at the time but kept the feel of the event. A place for fans to come together and celebrate pop culture. MCM Comic Con London is the first of three shows. There will be another one in London this October and a show in Birmingham in November.

That Hashtag Show will be there during the weekend to bring you all the best bits. Whether you’re a serious gamer, comic book collector, highly-skilled cosplayer, or passionate film buff, there’s plenty to explore at this year’s shows. The weekend program includes celebrity talent, unforgettable panels from the best in the business, exclusive previews, live performances, independent creators, and more.

We are still waiting for guest announcements to start rolling in. You can get an idea of the guests by looking at our coverage from MCM Comic Con London in October 2021.
