When it comes to Comic Con, I’ve always been an outside observer - but this year I attended for the first time and thought I had a fair idea of what to expect.
At various times in my life, I have been a Doctor Who and Spider-Man fanatic. However, dressing up and going to Comic Con as these characters never appealed.
For me, Comic Con was just about fans of certain shows dressing up and waiting in line for hours to meet their idols, all for a hefty price. I was therefore surprised when many attendees told me meeting the celebrities was not their main reason for going.
