The second annual Lanka Comic Con took place last weekend at the JDA Perera Gallery recently. Organised by the Geek Club of Sri Lanka it brings together fans that share a passion for comic book characters,t video games, cult movies and board games.
Spread over three floors and lasting two days the event had many diverse attractions for adults and kids. If you are a fan of games there were designated areas to play Warcraft, Star Wars or Dungeons and Dragons. If your passion is video games then a game station was set up with gamers playing endless battles of Counter Strike.
There were even panel discussions debating topics like comics for the 70s and 90s, three-dimension sculpting and diversity in comics. The event was very child friendly with areas to build and paint space dinosaurs and foam sword combat.
An entire floor was dedicated to Cosplay; this is the performance art of wearing a costume and fashion accessories to represent a certain character. They may be heroes of villains from comics, video games, television series or movies.
