Participants had a chance to interact with comic book writer Ron Marz and award-winning comic book artist Jamal Igle. Their presence added an international flair to the event as they shared insights about their career.
For 51-year-old Bhuvana Raj, comic con is all about reliving her childhood days. “I have come here with my son and daughter. This is my second visit. I get to learn so many things from the youngsters around me.”
The recently-concluded Bengaluru Comic Con saw a surge of people from all over the city. The 12th edition of the two-day festival took place at the KTPO Trade Centre Whitefield, which became the ultimate destination for comic, anime, manga, gaming and everything pop culture.
From classics such as Deadpool, Superman, and Batman to anime favourites such as Luffy, Naruto, Chainsaw Man, Nezuko and Gogo, the event witnessed over 5,000 cosplayers. Fans were found flaunting Indian favourites like Chacha Chaudhary and Suppandi with their costumes.
The presence of M.A.D’s Rob brought back childhood memories. He showcased his creative brilliance through an interactive session with comedian Rohan Joshi. Bengaluru stand-ups Rahul Subramanian, Azeen Banatwalla and Pilot Gomma turned up the humour quotient at the event.
For college student Abir, cosplaying as Wind Master from Heaven Official’s Blessing, reading comics was a solace. “Since my dad had a transferable job, we moved around, and I did not have constant friends. That is when I turned to comics as an escape and something that made me happy. When you come to an event like this, you realise how open the community is. You get to meet many like-minded people.”
“I love the ingenious ways people come up with to design their costumes,” said Snehal who was dressed as He Xuan from Heaven Official’s Blessing.
Dressed as Raven from Teen Titans, Trina agrees that putting together a costume is quite an arduous task. “There are so many elements in my outfit that I ended up borrowing from my friends to put it all together. With the makeup, it took me an hour to get ready for the event.”
