Review of Reading Comic-Con

Good event well organised with a good atmosphere & variety of dealers & exhibits & line up of guests.

Review of Reading Comic-Con

As this was my first comic con on my own, it was very fun seeing people that I have met at comic cons before and speak to online. I went to see Hannah Spearritt again for the third time this year, and it was great seeing her. Also, Andrew Lee Potts went as well but he confirmed last minute so couldn't get anything from him. Looking forward to the next one!

Review of Reading Comic-Con

It was a good event and what I expected. It was relatively small and some areas were cramped for my disabled friend . Be good to see this go from strength to strength. Only quibble was we were stamped instead of weekend wristbands. We couldn't do day2 anyway but would have been pretty poor if we had planned to use the whole ticket

It was a really fun and exciting event overall. However, the venue was quite drab and run down.

Really good fun event at an easy to access location.

Review of Reading Comic-Con

A good start for a first year but lacked more interactive items and variety. Was basically an indoor sale of comic-related stuff that we had to pay a small fortune to look around. The 'celebs' doing the signings were a step up from extras, who were really nice but not really crowd drawers. I would go again and hope to see next year as a better, more creative event.

Review of Reading Comic-Con

Small show by comparison to the monsters in the big cities, but very enjoyable and relaxed, and great location. Would go ahead. Could do with being a bit bigger with traders and other features if they could squeeze a bit more out of the space. Guest list was very impressive given the show size, as were the photo props. I congratulate all involved, and I`m becoming a bit of a Comic Con regular these days.

Review of Reading Comic-Con

To be honest I didn't really know what to expect from a convention of this size. Essentially spent £15 to walk around market stools. Not for me.

Review of Reading Comic-Con

It was a fantastic event!! Great guests, outstanding artists, brilliant stalls and an awesome environment with awesome likeminded people. I honestly can't think of anything negative. I really enjoyed Reading Comic-Con I hope this is the first of many more to come to Reading. Thank you to the organizers for putting it on, I will definitely be front of queue next time again.

Review of Reading Comic-Con

the event was brilliant. i really hope you put it on again next year. My only complaints are: physical tickets sent out would of been better as I wasn't sent my barcode. (i think) so nearly had a heat attack on the door. but it was resolved. it might of just make it simpler if we had tickets . (ones that i would've needed to find a printer to get. Also the photos. I was very excited to get my third picture on the iron throne. but I saw the quality and zoom of the other ones. and they were terrible. you could not even see the whole chair. so I didn't get my picture.

Review of Reading Comic-Con

Venue was a bit small not many other activities to do there a bigger venue would help with that and it was very money oriented had to pay just to see a minor celebrity with the pice right next to them stoped people going up and talking to them. Maybe make the ticket price bigger but take out the very money grabbing tactics out of it

Review of Reading Comic-Con

It was better than I expected, I even managed to get my mums irthday from Colin Baker!!! (Thanks for that)
But I don't think there was enough there to for a whole weekend but definitely enough for one day!
Overall an amazing weekend, hope to be back next year if there is one!

Con was great, venue left a lot to be desired, especially thetoilets which were disgusting..

Review of Reading Comic-Con

Wasted 44 pounds for family to go to view range of stalls selling merchandise or charging for signature/ photos of "celebrities". Some people with costumes good but lots were the public visiting rather than provided entertainment. Worth a peek if free but no idea what the 44 paid for. No goody bag, free entertainment consisted of Kit car, dinosaur and jurrasic park range rover and everything had a charge. You even had to pay #5 to sit and have a pic in the delorian.
