Bengaluru Comic-Con 2023 is all set to deliver a spectacular entertainment-filled Pop Culture celebration for DC, Marvel and anime fans and that includes experiencing the first look at the world of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom through life-size statues to Marvel freebies like an exclusive Spider-Man India comic book. Here’s what attendees should expect from this Crunchyroll-powered event scheduled for November 17th.
Comic-Con India’s 11th edition of the best weekend of the year in Bengaluru will be a 3-day extravaganza. The event as usual will also house the largest comic book store by Penguin Random House India. So attendees can look forward to browsing through titles from Marvel, DC Dark Horse, IDW Image, Kodansha and many more.
Warner Bros. India is again participating in the event but Disney’s Marvel Studios appears to be a no-show. DC Studios, a subsidiary of WBD will present their eye catchy experience zones for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Willy Wonka. Last year, Shazam! Fury of the Gods was in the spotlight alongside life-size statues of the Justice League & Black Adam.
So @ComicConIndia was FUN & exhilarating but you know what was more fun, seeing #HenryCavillSuperman , #BlackAdam & Ben Affleck's #Batman in the same room. Can't wait to see what Mr @JamesGunn has in store with his DC Bible @WarnerBrosIndia #DCU #DCEU #Superman pic.twitter.com/tOFbxdjHZP
