Saturday at MCM Comic Con are something else, the crowding is on another level and there is always something to do.

The way to come out on the other side is to go in with a plan. The plan will probably fall apart due to circumstances but it helps to have a plan. We got in early and took a little time to look around the con before making our way to the other end of London ExCel.

So let us look at the events we managed to get to even through the massive crowds.

Camp Half Blood Panel

Guests: Rick Riordan and Annabelle Oh

Interviewer: Coco Omer

Rick Riordan and Annabelle Oh took to the Capital Stage to talk about Camp Half Blood: The Wild Zone. A spinoff of the Percy Jackson series, the new project sees Rick Riordan working with a number of new authors to take a new look at demi-god sanctuary. Coco Omer who came across as a huge fan of the series like the fans in attendance.

Daredevil Panel

Guests: Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio and Wilson Bethel

Interviewer: Claire Lim

The trio of actors had a lot to talk about. The obvious place to start was with the decision by Marvel Television to end Daredevil: Born Again with Season 3. The actors also spoke about interesting stories from their extensive careers and revealing some interesting new projects that not even the other panelists were aware of.
