First of all, you may want to relax a bit, as this isn’t to be mixed up with the American Comic-Con that all us movie, TV and comic-book geeks know and love, but it definitely is a step in that direction. The first ever Dublin Comic-Con will take place on August 10th and 11th in the National Show Centre in Swords, County Dublin.

There will be stars from both in front of and behind the cameras from movies and TV shows such as Prometheus, The Walking Dead, Aliens VS Predator, Jurassic Park, Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi and Game Of Thrones, as well as several famous comic-book creators and talented voice actors.

There’ll also be exhibitions and panels, as well as some of the props, models and actual costumes from some of your favorite comic book movies, sci-fi epics and horror flicks.
