The success of the famous San Diego Comic Con has been transferred across the pond and comes to London in the shape of the Kapow! Comic Convention. After the sell-out success of the inaugural convention in 2011, sales for the 2012 instalment, at the Business Design Centre, are expected to be huge. A raft of the biggest names in comic-book, film, TV and gaming will be in attendance and fans will have the chance to meet their heroes, witness advanced screenings and book readings and, of course, fill out their autograph books with a host of signatures. Highlights of the first convention included a question and answer sessions with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, the two lead stars of Thor, exclusive footage from the film Green Lantern, the world premiere of Steven Spielberg's Falling Skies and Jonathan Ross' Comic Pros v Comic Fans game show. With an even bigger and better line-up promised for 2012, expect an action packed couple of days.About Business Design Centre
