It was great fun, though I was expecting a bit more folks to be cosplaying. However that doesn&#8217;t mean that the folks who were Cosplaying didn&#8217;t spent time, effort and money in creating their costumes. There were a bunch of folks as Superman, Spider-man, Saw one guy dressed as the Hulk and even found a minion. <\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of the show was that I got to meet Peter Kuper author of Spy Vs Spy which is a comic I have been reading for a lot of years now. I even got him to draw a panel for me in my copy of Spy Vs Spy (see below). Another author we met was Jason Quinn who wrote &#8220;The Kaurava Empire&#8221;. We bought the first volume of the series just as it was released to the public. The series is a great read and I would highly recommend it to folks.<\/p>\n<p>Over all the Con was good fun, I did notice a few things though that I found interesting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There were a lot more stalls selling T-Shirts than Comics\/Books. I hope in the next Con more publishers show up and the ratio is more balanced.<\/li>\n<li>A lot more publishers are starting to write about Indian Mythology and stories based on it. I saw books on all sorts of mythological figures and this is awesome. Finally folks are starting to write about Indian figures instead of Greek\/American\/Scandinavian. I hope this trend continues.<\/li>\n<li>Cosplay is picking up in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally to end the post, here are some pics from the event:<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_162328.jpg\" alt=\"20140913_162328\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_162328.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_162328-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nBangalore ComicCon 2014<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_152500.jpg\" alt=\"20140913_152500\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_152500.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_152500-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nPeter Kuper drawing a panel just for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_152625.jpg\" alt=\"20140913_152625\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_152625.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_152625-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nMe with Peter Kuper<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_145236-e1410813985607.jpg\" alt=\"20140913_145236\" width=\"405\" height=\"720\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_145236-e1410813985607.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_145236-e1410813985607-168x300.jpg 168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><br \/>\nSpider-Man Hitches a ride<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_151740.jpg\" alt=\"20140913_151740\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_151740.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.suramya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/20140913_151740-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nMinion&#8217;s! <\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Well this is all for now.
