I have to agree. Apart from meeting up with Mogzilla, it was a huge disappointment. It was ridiculously overcrowded and the queue was enormous (I stood in it for 5 minutes before I realised I could just walk straight past it with my pre-paid ticket - this was the most satisfying experience of the day).
For a comic con, there was precious few comics around - the only stall selling GNs was Forbidden Planet, though there were quite few selling manga and related toys and stuff. The cosplay was quite impressive, but again it was predominantly Japanese stuff that doesn't really float my boat. If you wanted an autograph from Craig Charles, you had to buy a photo for £15. Right at the back was Bryan Robson, Dennis Law, and half a dozen other footy legends looking rather bemused, and being largely ignored by the geek-teen crowd. There were no panels or talks. Leigh Gallagher and Al Davison were the only guests that would interest me and they were both busy sketching when I passed (Mogzilla's Dredd by Leigh was beautiful!).
And as Bhuna pointed out - no bar. Don't think I'll be attending any MCM events again.
