It’s almost time! the end of May is upon us, and with it comes the latest – and possibly the greatest – MCM Comic Con yet. Once again the ExCeL London will host this incredible fan convention on the weekend of Friday 24th to Sunday 26th of May 2019.
Amongst the headline guests are MCU Superstar, The Winter Soldier himself, Sebastian Stan, and from Supernatural the incomparable Misha Collins (Castiel)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star Troy Baker (Batman/The Joker), Mike Zeck (Batman: Ten Nights Of The Beast), Simon Bisley (Batman/Judge Dredd), and Emanuela Lupacchino (Batgirl/Catwoman/DC Bombshells/Trinity/Young Justice/Wonder Woman).

Fans of the Arrowverse shows will also be very spoiled, as a wealth of stars from The CW hit series will also be in attendance:
Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow).

As well as meeting guests and checking out the latest art from comic artists, fans can get interactive with some amazing activations and exclusive products on the show floor, from major exhibitors including Funko and Warner Bros.
Fans can also enjoy free panels and exclusive screenings across the whole weekend with cast members, authors and directors; play the latest games and compete or watch in the UK Cosplay Championships.
Yours truly will be at the event. I’m so looking forward to meeting fellow fans and scoring some exclusive interviews. UK fans, sound off in the comments; will you be at the ExCeL for the latest and greatest MCM Comic Con? Hopefully I’ll see you there.

Ray Wild Cards: Now And Then  is a brand new graphic novel based in an alternate reality and shared universe co-created by George R.R. Martin, the man behind the now legendary  Game Of Thrones  TV show, and the books that inspired them.

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead .

She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from
