Metro Comic Convention 2011

Metro Comic Convention is a gathering of Filipino comic book artist and graphic novels. Cosplays, animation, manga, toys and figurines, and movies are also showcased in the said event. It is a 2 day event that aims to let Pinoy fans come and meet our Filipino artist.

The event was held on May 7 – 8, 2011at the Mega Trade Hall at SM Megamall. I had the chance to attend the first day only, and my team mates where present also on the second day.

Lot’s of booths of comic artist where scattered around the place, I heard also that there will be a free comic for attendies but I don’t know how to get one or if it’s still applicable.

on the 2nd day, more cosplayers attended the event, I just wished I have attended also.

Kean and Skids

there was also a giant Chevy Transformer, I think it’s Skids. from the looks of it. yes.

Kristel Lim and Vidar Kang

Kristel Lim and Jen Hime are some of the famous cosplayers who attended the second day. although Kristel is not in her costume, still popular though.

Jen Hime as Oerba Dia Vanille

Although the event’s main purpose is to showcase the Comic and graphic novels, I myself just want to have fun and play on the event with my friends.

next MCC I’ll buy a comic for sure, although I’m not sure what kind of novel it will be. David Lloyd, the creator of V for Vendetta was also present as a guess although we didn’t see him in action, maybe when we are takning our break. that maybe the reason why the entrance fee became 120Ph instead of the usual 100Php.

overall the event was fun, hope to see more from MCC.
