Event review: Comic Con Brussels
Comic Con Brussels What: pop-culture convention Where: Tour & Taxis, Brussels, Belgium When: February 10 & 11 2018 I’m going to flat out say it without beating around the bush: Comic Con Brussels was one of the best conventions I have ever attended. Possibly the best. There’s quite a few reasons that contributed to this conclusion, so stick around to find out what made this event awesome. (more…)
What: pop-culture philharmonia When: December 26 (French) & 27 (Dutch) 2017 Where: Brussels Expo, Laeken (Brussels), Belgium Disney in Concert was a two day philharmonic concert event, taking place just after the holidays to keep the magic of Christmas just going a that little bit longer. The first show on December 26th focussed on French versions of the songs, whilst the second show on December…
Many a steampunk is familiar with the sights of not only Nautilus in Tokyo Disney Sea, but the entire scenery of Mysterious Island. Whilst many Disney parks have a castle at the center heart of the park, Mysterious Island boasts Mount Prometheus of Mysterious Island. Literally, but I’ll get to that in a bit. Is this all there is that makes Tokyo Disney Sea so worth it for ‘punks? Or is there more…
Review: Lady Mechanika, volume 4
You might find it strange that I am talking about the most recent Lady Mechanika volume 2nd, but that’s because this one actually chronologically probably comes best first or maybe second (but I actually bought it last, so yeah). Which is probably why it’s not specifically numbered like the others. In any case, it doesn’t particularly matter at which point in the Lady Mechanika timeline you read…
Review: Lady Mechanika, volume 1
I am aware that we are extremely late to the party on starting to review these, but it is an ongoing series, with volume 4 released not long ago, so better late than never right. Surely there are some people out there that aren’t aware of Lady Mechanika yet. Check it out if you are one of them, because this is one of the best comics around. And it has been translated into a myriad of languages, I…
Event review: Comic Con Antwerp
Comic Con Antwerp What: pop-culture convention Where: Waagnatie, Antwerp, Belgium When: September 23 – 24 Comic Con Antwerp was probably the convention in Belgium that had the biggest shoes to fill. It’s not by the same team that used to organise the much missed Antwerp Convention, but it’s a good thing that there was a veteran organisation behind it, because people were looking at it as THE con…
Atsusacon What: officially a J-culture convention, I say a cosplay convention Where: ICC, Ghent, Belgium When: August 5 & 6 2017 Over the years, Atsusacon has become a staple in the summer convention season, as one of the more fun, smaller conventions to go to. They always do a real effort, more so than many other events, to put on a very varied program, with workshops, vendors, often even…
