Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
The country’s biggest pop culture event titled ‘Dhaka COMICON 2015’ was held at Jamuna Future Park
in the city’s Kuril area recently
with smashing attractions from international contingents.
Dhaka COMICON, the country’s first ever comic-con event which has returned for its fourth year this month. This pop culture platform is a melting pot of all TV, movies and comic book enthusiasts, and has been merging
an entire universe of superheroes and super villains under one
roof since 2012.
Just like every year, visitors are
cosplaying as their favourite
characters and being a part of this budding pop culture in Dhaka.
This year, the three-day event
invited international contingents from beyond borders. Visitors and
cosplayers are also being able to meet and network with COMICON’s Indian counterparts and explore the possibilities of future participation at Delhi Comic Con, Mumbai Comic and Film Convention, Bangalore Comic Con and Hyderabad Comic Con.
Additionally, the Florida-based videographers named ‘11th Hour,’ whose works include New York Comic Con and Star Wars Celebration, Delhi Comic Con and Mumbai Comic and Film Convention, attended Dhaka COMICON 2015 to shoot the event.
Participants also met many
international comic book
distributors at the event and were able to purchase timeless collections. Bikroy.com, one of the country’s biggest online selling platform,
sponsored the event. n
