Comic Con 2016 #Delhi

A comic book aficionado?
Superhero lover?
Living in your fantasy world?
And would literally like to live in your fantasy world?
Understand the Big Bang Theory as it is without reading the subtitles or never googling the things they say and talk about?

If you're affirmative to even one of the questions stated above, then you must, I repeat YOU MUST visit the Comic Con. A place where like minded people/weirdos/geeks/nerds get to be their true or fictional stuff with other like minded people/weirdos/geeks/nerds. The result, surprisingly, is an action packed three day event with kids, parents, singles mingling in activities and shopping fiesta with super hero/villain gusto.

Highlights of the Events:


For the Love of Wrestling
  • Guest List: Being a one of a kind event for the one of a kind people, the guest list included the hot shots of the cartoon, anime and all things geek industry. The list included Tim Richmond, cartoonist and illustrator for Mad Magazine, Cartoon Network, Marvel, National Geographic, etc., Nicholas Wild, Artist and writer of Kabul Disco and Silent was Zarathustra, Joe Harris, Author of X-files Comics, Batman Joker's asylum, Gaurav Gera of the Shopkeeper fame, Rana Daggubati *whistles*. So you can click pictures, if lucky, talk to them, if luckier or just see them bask in the awesomeness they possess. 
  • The WWE: We all have that childhood fantasy of wrapping the hefty WWE champion belt around our waist. But can that dream ever come true without entering the wrestling ring and getting beaten up by your opponent? Yes. Comic con made it come true. You get to pose or dance or cry with happiness with the World Champion belt that you get to momentarily hold. The queue is long but so is the reward, what say?
  • AXN: Promoting several shows, AXN had bunch of activities that you got to do flaunting your skills or lack of any. The activities were varied and so were the participants. Interesting stuffs they had laid out there. (Psst: You even got to feel like a hero saving your friend who volunteers to get locked up for you to feel like a hero. Setting new friendship goals, hi-5 AXN!!)
  • Baahubali on VR: Need I say more? The most incredibly shot movie with the most incredible effects you saw on 3D. Now you got to watch the trailer on Virtual Reality. Just how much can you thank Comic Con for letting you actually step into Baahubali's world.
  • Slap Popcorns: Just 20 bucks, incredibly delicious, fast service and you have the great american snack in your hands. I bought lots of peri-peri ones cause they were just so tangy and good!!
  • Pose with the storm trooper: Like who doesn't want to live their star wars fantasy. Even the queue builds up your excitement till you finally get to pose the way you like with the Trooper.
  • Shopping: Superhero T-shirts, live comic illustrations of self for 500 bucks, illustrative posters, coasters, costumes, head bands, poster clocks, superhero accessories, collectibles and what not...there's just so much shopping you can do and so many things you want to buy. Just, ahh, save for the event next year.
Collectibles that make you cry with Happiness
Must haves
The prices are decent with INR 375 for one day pass, there's a decently priced 3 days pass and a buddy pass as well (group entries). The price is economical considering the fun you're gonna have. There was a food court as well with leading chains. Saw people hogging in their super hero attires. Funny sight that was.

Though they can work better with the parking facilities at the location, i.e NSIC Ground, Okhla, cause I literally had to emotionally blackmail them (for all the valid reasons) to give me that last parking spot left, I think the event is a big hit and you should definitely attend next year.

Have fun...Do Not Miss Next Year!!



Thank you for stating the fact
