My husband has been collecting comics for more than 30 years and still into Marvel & DC comics/movies. I’d love to give him tickets as a 20 year anniversary gift. To show him how much I love him and that I truelly understand his love for comics. Honestly the love for comics is huge in our family. Love to dress as Harlequin or Wonder Woman.
I would really like to go to comic con with my father because one of the things that make us bond together are comics from marvel studios and and dc comics. Meeting all the superheroes and I might say villians would be fun. One of the other reasons of entering this competition is that I am a teenager so that means I do not have a jb
I just really want to go and experience the first propper south african Comic con for myself..plus all the good tickets are sold out :(
As a kid I always dreamed of meeting the likes of Iron Man, spider man, Thor, Hulk and so many more characters. This will probably be the closest I will get to any of my favorite characters. All I have to do is set my mind to believe that the person behind the mask was bitten by a spider or drank some radioactive drink or just had too much spar letta cool drink to turn into Hulk. Its been a dream of mine to fulfill my childhood dream. Please grant me this wish
Reason id like to win tickets so that I can experience something that we as South Africans have only had to witness through movies and on TV. A chance to experience this kind of event would be amazing! Another big one for me is for my kid to meet Anthony Mackie! I personally would love to meet Sheldon Cooper in character!
Just a hip old mom who needs to see an experience this with my phycho gamers daughter who wants to kill me for not getting tickets in time. Outfits planned already for Cosplay. Need to get her to the gaming competitions……….need these tickets to redeem myself with her. Oh and did i mention I am also planning to dress up
Comics, movies, gaming… this is my life…I need to attend!
I would love to go, because Ragnar…. Ragnar…. Ragnar… if nothing else that should be the only reason and now can’t because saturday and sunday are sold out:( please please please give this comic fan a chance to have an awesome birthday…
I need to win…for myself, for my 11 year old – because it’s the right thing to do :) Did I mention Fortress of Solitude is one of my favourites? :D
I would love to see Cosplay that isnt brought to events like rage , id love to see more movie stars to come there so we can get our autographs id looooove to discover gaming companies in south africa cause theres hardly ever such a thing, i want to go there because its been a dream of mine to go to a comicon fest, if i had there money i would’ve taken a plane to go there a long time ago and sincr its now here, i want to be part of the culture show my custume, mEet great gamers ot even challange great gamers i want to explore and have an amazing time where no one judges me for being a geek and also meet other people of my caliba
I would love to go for the geeky merch and comics, especially things that are a rarity in SA, and just to experience the atmosphere of an international con. My fiance and I attend all the cons and gaming events in Cape Town, and I would love to spoil him by getting him an all weekend pass for Comic Con Africa( they sold out so quickly). He is an avid photographer and would be in his element at this Con. Thanks :)
I need to go so I can show off my cosplay skills as a soul stealing ginger. Also, I must go as my inner geek wont allow me not going, but I do want to go. So please grant me this or I will be in grave danger.
I’ve been working on a costume for a few weeks (I’m not very quick at sewing and steampunk is hard). I completely missed that three day passes are sold out :(. I was really hoping to cosplay across the weekend and that’s why I’d love to go to Comic Con.
I would love to experience everything at comic con and especially see Jason Momoa
My whole life I have been into super hero’s, super villains, Marvel, D.C. and all the amazing series and films that have come about as a result of the awesome imagination of comic book writers. I am also a very enthusiastic gamer and I would love the opportunity to go the the very first ever Comic Con in South Africa. I see these Comic Cons on tv and get so jealous! Please send this Nerd to Comic Con Africa!
Thank you.
I would honestly love to go because I need to go. I was never very popular at school and I was picked on alot so it really made most of my schooling hell but then I was introduced to comics and I found something that I was truly in love with comics have driven me and has had a profound influence on my life. When Ironman one came out I was over the moon Ive watched it over 15 times I absolutely love everything about it and Robert Downey jrs story on his comeback from drugs and alcohol has inspired me and he is my HERO
It has been a dream of mine to meet the man and just simply shake his hand and thank him for all he has done in the marvel universe and the inspiration he has given me and before today I thought I would never get that chance until this comic con came to life and I feel that there is a very good chance that he will be there
So not only do I want to go to comic con to enjoy the creativity and the awesomeness of comics and everything they stand for I want to go meet my hero and that would be a dream come true
So please may I go to comic con and meet my hero
And so many other inspiring artists that I can speak to and learn from so that I may one day be a comic book artist for my own line of comic books
I love to go to comic con as it will be an amazing experience for not only me but my brother as well as we grew up reading ,watching and breathing anything and everything relating to comics and videogames , this has certainly steered my brother’s career path towards becoming a game programmer and I would love to make this dream of his to come true!!!
Having the chance to meet some of the cast members of Game of Thrones is way up there on the many reasons why I need to go. I will say this though, the main reason is that I have been dreaming about this day ever since the epic The Big Bang Theory episode where Sheldon and crew tried to buy knockoff tickets. They really hype all these comic conventions up and I’d love to experience it first hand.
I wanna go to Comic con cause I like the next level of nerd. Literally anything to do with being a nerd I am doing it. I make Sheldon from Big Bang Theory look normal. I need to go to comic con to return to my home planet. I can’t even say what I’m looking forward to cause I wanna see everything. Comic books, Graphic Novels, Board games, Gaming, E-sport, The Cosplay Competition (which I will be cosplaying in but not taking part. I’m not that good yet), Yaya Han, Drago aka Jason Momoa, Stuart from Big Bang Theory aka Kevin Sussman, the list goes on and on and on. I just wanna go so bad please.
I love, comics, cosplay- I would love to see the cast of the Big Bang Theory – and September is by Birthday month – would be the best birthday present…. EVER!!!!
I want to go because this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I’ll be able to see/meet some of my favourite people in the world.
Why to go: Comics is life
What to see: Stan Lee
I would love to go because of a thousand reasons, but I’ll keep it a bit simpler for you guys.
1. I would love to go because I’ve never been at a convention like this before. It would be an awesome experience. I couldn’t attend Geek Fest because I’m a hobo, so yeah. I missed that. Now, why do I need to suffer more and miss Comic Con? COMIC CON!?
2. I only have 5 comics, and would love a thousand more. I’m sure as hell there will be comics there. More importantly, MANGA. I am sure as hell some store will have Manga there, and that excites even my bones. My toes wiggle when I think about it. I need Death Note. I need Naruto. You know what, I need them all. So yeah. I also need Batman comics. COMIC con is the first and only place I want to check.
3. I need a new hoodie but I am utterly full of crap, I hate the hoodies they offer for girls in store. So, I want to hunt one down at Comic Con, something with Zombies (the Walking Dead), or Negan. Batman would be awesome.
4. I need a break away from my computer screen. I can see only code every where I go. I am basically livnig in the Matrix. How nice would it be to break free for a second? I mean, a weekend?
5. The most obvious reason: It. Is. Comic. Con. Who woouldn’t want to go? And if someone is saying “me”, get rid of that person, you don’t need that type of negativity in your life.
6. I want to see the dude from Big Bang Theory – Kevin Sussman. He’s the funniest guy on the Big Bang. I love his depressing attitude, yet acceptance. He’s hilarious.
7. My husband wants to go because there apparently might be anime chicks. Does this count as a reason?
8. I would love to see the Artists or Illustrators that work on Manga/Anime. It’s one of the most amazing works of art. I love drawing, and anime is one of my most favourite styles. It would be awesome to get some advice.
9. My kiddie can enjoy the kiddies activities! I didn’t even know that there is anything for the kids. That’s awesome. I HATE going away without my kid, so having her with me would be great, and even better if there is fun for her!
10. Husband: “Food trucks. I need to be there.”
That’s my top ten. We’re getting too excited, so I’m going to close this before I cause your page to run out of memory…
I would to see Kevin Sussman. I have so many questions for him.
I would like to go to see the cosplay, exhibitions and games on display.
I have dreamed about going to a comic con for YEARS. I’ve read about them, watched the videos and I can only imagine. The vibe is so awesome, you get to be as geeky as you want without judgements, because everyone around you is doing the same. I’d most enjoy seeing the Big Bang Theory and Game of Thrones panels, as those are two of my favourite shows. Obviously though, I’m most excited for the cosplay, not mine, but of everyone else’s!
GAME OF THRONES!!!!!!!!! I really would like to go. It’s such an amazing opportunity to be a part of something to this calibre. I am not able to express my gratitude for Comics in my everyday life and going to Comic Con would allow me to do that. I love it so much…
Because ComicCon. I want to cosplay with my boyfriend and ask him to marry me.
Jason ‘Aquaman’ Momoa and to join in the cosplay
It is currently 12:40 on the 26/05 and I am searching high and low for a three day pass to comic con when I should be studying for my exam that I am writing next week. I really want to go to comic con because I love the culture and I have been waiting for comic con to come to South Africa so I can part take in it. I often find myself watching comic con panels on Youtube and wishing that I was part of the crowd. When it comes to series like Supernatural, Game of Thrones, Magicians, you name it I have I probably watched it and became slightly obsessed with it. I am also one of those people that read fan fiction for different series and movies and I basically just looove all of it. So for me to go to comic con would be the greatest of opportunities and let’s not forget that I will see Aquaman eeeeep!!!! So very exciting!!!!
As a big-time true believin’ Marvel fan, my favorite part of any con is getting my comics and volumes signed. Seeing one of the Marvel heavyweight writers or artists there and getting some signed merch would be a dream. Maybe even a special commissioned piece of art. The other thing I like to do at cons is to dress up as Doctor Strange and tell all the vendors that I’ve come to bargain. With a con of this magnitude, I’m sure I’d have a HOST of exhibitors to visit. My dream for Comic Con would include a big name from the heydays like Kurt Busiek, or Jim Starlin, who could sign my Infinity Gauntlet books, and a more contemporary big name. Dan Slott or Humberto Ramos would be awesome, seeing how I loved their work together on Spider-Man. Other than that, I’m looking forward to bigger sponsors, bigger giveaways and a bigger experience altogether.
Honestly I’d like to get my hands on some good comics. Can’t seem to find them anywhere in my city. And some cosplay sounds pretty awesome.
Obviously would love to see all the special guests, love GOT and the magicians. Also really keen to see all the cosplay and boardgame stalls
I want to see it ALLLL cant wait for this.
To see the guys that voiced my greatest gaming experiences …
Troy Baker and Nolan North
I want to go to Comic Con Africa to have to the chance to geek out with friends and buy lots of merchandise, both official and local fanmade products.
Hey there! As a pop culture & comic book fangirl, I would humbly and truly appreciate a golden ticket to Comic-Con Africa! Fandom studies is a major passion of mine and as this is a 1st for us, I’d love to use this amazing opportunity to physically meet & connect with fans, make a few friends, get a chance to see a few of the famous faces that grace our screens & hopefully document this wonderful, exciting experience. Also – Thank you for running this competition, FoS – Kudos for getting us as close to the phenomenon as possible!
I really want to go, pretty please.
I would love to go because I want to see my boyfriend who I hardly ever see at all play in the VS gaming Overwatch tournament finals. I would love to have the chance to support my love and be there for him it would mean the world to both of us
I would love to go because I am a huge anime and fantasy fan. I would love to see a Game of Thrones section with the characters as well. It would be AMAZING!!!
Always wanted to attend as it is like the best event ever!
Aqua man, Jason mamoa, uh aqua man hum did I say Jason mamoa ? and ofcourse the comics, gadgets and all the other amazing cosplay
I am a nerd, likewise, I am surrounded by incredibly nerd-like friends. To them, and me, this would be a once in a lifetime experience! I look forward to the autograph sessions and potentially huge savings on comics and memorabilia… of course, the cosplay is the best part!
I am an actual nerd. I am completing a Masters degree in chemistry this year and am a total movie geek too. In order to complete the stereotype, I am required by unwritten law to attend. Also to take a photo with Jason Momoa.
Why I’d like to go and what I’d like to see at the event is Aquaman‘s Actor Jason Momoa.
It’s on my bucket list of to do things before I die. I’ve always wanted to go to a comic con since I can remember. It would be a dream come true.
Iv never been to one ever! I think it would be awesome going seeing all the amazing stuff. Amazing people. Dressing up! I’d love it! Like a kid in a candy shop!
Oh boy! Do you know how much and how long I yearned to go to Comic Con. But I thought i would never, cause I cant simply travel anywhere i want in the world. But now that it is here! A big dream come true. I would love to go because, as an artist, it would be an privilege to be surrounded by my passion. My mind is gonna go crazy I am telling you and its gonna blow if I get a weekend pass. There is just too much i hope to see, i cant say it all in one paragraph, but it it would be awesome to be a geek again. Thats for sure
Because Art is my life. And what better place to get lost in art especially when the fabric of comic com is stitched with creativity. I would love to see South African comic artists showing their stuff
Comics, comics, comics. I’m in it for the comics. Being collecting since I was 4 and now I own over 20000. Hoping to score some variant editions and maybe get 1 or 2 signed.
It would be my first time attending Iv always wanted to go but Iv always lived in another province but now I’m in Cape Town! And I so want to experience comic-con first hand the cosplay! Aqua man and rick worthy I look forward to seeing local and international artists at work as they draw design and animate their comics. Meet the authors and grab a few signed comics March and funko pops!
If I’m being honest, it’s because The Big Bang Theory make their Comic Con sound SUPER COOL!
I have lived on this earth for 25 years and have never been able to go to any Convention in South Africa. This would be the best way to take my Con Cherry. Please make this happen
All the cosplay fun, all the awesome stuff to see, all the geeks I love, who will almost certainly be there too, and all the excitement for our very first Comic Con for the very first time ever!! All the fangirling without an ounce of judgement from anyone, the food, the fantasy, the fulfillment of geek destiny on the African continent …Who doesn’t want to go, and if not, WHY not?!!
I’m terribly curious. I’ve always been rather solitary with my geeky interests so I’d like to be able to see what more there is out there for me to expand my interests in. Also it’s exciting as heck. Comic con has always been something I’ve watched or read about, so being able to experience first hand what it’s about will be EPIC.
As a massive Game of Thrones fan, I am definitely going mainly to see Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) in person!
I would love to go to Comic Con Africa as I am extremely interested in the film and television industry. After school I would want to go into the field of editing and I believe that that techniques used in action films (especially Marvel and DC) are incredible.
I need to get out more so this is the perfect excuse i also like comics and games.
I would like to be there for the first Comic-Con in Africa
And ofc Aquaman himself.
I already have tickets ? here to comment for you guys to bring Hideo Kojima
It would be an amazing opportunity to see the comics and cosplay at such a magnitude. It would also be brilliant to be surrounded by like minded people
To see all the cosplayers, comic book stalls and definitely would want to get one of my Justice League or Aquaman comics signed by Jason Momoa himself.
I’m a huge comic fan and JASON MOMOA going to be there!!
I want to go to comic con because i mean khal drogo is gonna be there
I want to go because it’s been a dream of mine to go to Comic Con, it seems so exciting to be around people who share the same interests. I REALLY want to see Jason Momoa and I hope that the Game of Thrones will be there. Also, cosplay would be pretty cool.
I’ve always seen clips of Comic Con in the US, this is truly a dream come true for all us Gamers, Geeks and Fan Boys here in SA. Would love to see the entire Marvel and DC Cast at SA’s first ever Comic Con.
This is history in the making for us. Whoop Whoop!
I never miss this- would be nice if I won tickets for a change
I want the experience of course and geek merchandise, toys, gaming, cosplayers, props, and exciting panels taking place … I want to be there for all of it !!!
I’m a HUGE comic fan and comic Con is one of my dreams! I really want to experience it with my brothers, we’re planning a road trip from cape town just for Comic Con. My brother just got married and I promised my new sister that I’d take her as well!
Can’t wait… been following the rumour for years now. Can’t wait to see all the international guests.
Big bang theory. Plus all the movie stuff.
Because this is Nerdvana, Geektopia!
All the amazing cosplays, comics, nerds, games and Jason Momoa?
Why the hell not?
To be able to go to the first ever held comic con event in south africa is reason enough!!! Of course to experience everything geek for a weekend will be amazing. Also would love to meet the cast of Critical Role
I want to go see the toys! and all the creators that keep this culture alive.
My whole family is looking forward to a great time out. We are a gaming family and love all the geeky aspects of the event. For my daughter the cosplay is a highlight.
I have always wanted to go to Comic Con and cosplay. It’s amazing to see the effort everyone puts into their costumes and also it’s great to have other people who really appreciates the same things that I do such as the comics and their love for different fandoms.
Cause every con needs a deadpool
I would love to go to ComicCon to experience the very first of its kind in South Africa. Geeky Paradise! I’m looking most forward to the epic Cosplays and really want the chance to meet any international cosplayers that will be there :)
Meagan Rudman !!
I want to go because I’ve always read and watched clips of the epic-ness that is Comic-Con is the US and I am extremely keen experience it for myself. Also getting an opportunity to see Jason Momoa and any of the cast of Game of thrones and BBT doesn’t come around everyday ?
I want to see AQUAMAN! … dont judge me …
This would be more than a dream ❤️ … I’ve avidly followed the San Diego ComicCon online, and I would absolutely love to attend the Con here in South Africa… Also, my son will be 9 months old in September, and I would love it if I could take him to the Con with cosplay for the first one in SA ❤️
I would love for my fiance’ to be able to go. This trip would be awesome for the both of us! Would love to see more of the comic culture, gamesplay and celebrities. The experience will count the most! P.S. I Love Harley Quinn!!!!!
Comics and Cosplay are the main reason I need to go. The international guests too. Should be tons of fun!
Well let’s face it as a Geek there’s everything at Comic Con, comics, collectables and like minded people that’s why I’d like to go
I would love to meet Jason Mamoa and also all the other amazing people that will be there and also to express my love for comics
think it’s safe to say that anyone who calls themselves a geek, fan, connoisseur, collectors with regards to comics, manga, anime, comic related movies, cosplay, roleplay it is the Mecca of geek culture and all of us wish to make the pilgrimage to the holy land. Finally Comic Con has come to our shores brining all its glory with it and not only do we get to attend the Con but to get to meet The Chieftain Khal Drogo and the man who made Aquaman badass Jason Momoa himself? I think the only thing that could top that would be telling me I get to wear Spartan-II armour in a zombie apocalypse.
Well where do i start !? Uhm why do i want to go . . . Easy, cause Jason Mamoa ;) Right, right ?? Just kidding. I want to go because this event is history in the making. a First comic con for Africa hosted right here in South Africa ! No longer do we have to observe and be jelly about all the other Comic cons all over the world where we only could wish upon a shooting star to able to attend, we actually can now ! I want to go so i can finally be around people who share the same interests as me and where its ok to be a little different and to like different things. And if thats not reason enough i dont know what is :3
I would like to go because for so long we have been marvel and comic fans and to see all that under one roof would be mind blowing
I would love to meet Khal Drogo/Aquaman, see some amazing cosplays and buy some super cool geeky stuff ?
I love everything about Comic Con. The nerd and geek culture celebrated by fans and creative of the same space is one to always experience.
It’s always been a dream to go a Comicon, to see all the cosplayers, games, new game tech everything this would be an awesome experience.
with fancon 2018 still fresh in my mind, there is nothing i want more to see than the comics, cosplay and the amazing art of the local artists
I have recently lost my job unexpectedly so I have no funds for tickets and would have loved to cosplay at the event as I have worked so hard on my outfit and was very excited to be able to wear it at the con. Cosplay is my passion as well as all things geek, being able to go to our very first Comic con would be a dream come true for me. I would appreciate a chance to be able to go so very much. Those tickets would most definitely not go to waste if given to me, I would make the most of each moment there.
Jason Momoa , the geek culture and did i mention Jason …
have to experience this 1st in south africa phenomenon and of course jason mamoa
I want to go because Comin Con! Also, so I can get my Sheldor freak on! #DreamSinceTheBigBang #ImTalkingAboutTheSeries
Pretty much everything! Pop culture amazes me, cosplay is quite a thing to look at and I’m a huge geeky gamer so I’m sure VS gaming will have something that tickles my fancy. Overall I would love to enjoy comic con the whole weekend long!
After years of following others on social media, with watching live streams and seeing all the photos and short clips, it would be absolutely amazing to be finally able to go to one that is being host in our country!
With all the hard work from so many others over the past 10 years(plus/minus a few) with them generating support and interest in all these combined hobbies, games and cosplay(just to name a few)
To steal a line from The Rock : FINALLY… Comic Con HAS COME TO SOUTH AFRICA! xD
Would like to see everything. Have never been to one so this would be an awesome experience.
It’s my birthday weekend! And it would just be epic to geek out at Comic Con Africa on my bday.
Working on a wicked cosplay, but missed out on getting a weekend pass before they were sold out, so I still have no ticket yet.
Always wanted to go to Comic Con overseas but never had the opportunity to travel! Woyld be amazing to go to the local one-looks like its going to be a goody (will be there in a Star Wars outfit,first time for cosplay opportunity!)
I would really love to see all the amazing events in store for Africa’s first comic con… It is surely going to be epic. I am a massive comic book and movie fan. Can’t wait for September
Comic Con has been my dream to go. I wanted to travel to San Diego just to go but now it’s here! I want to see the panels the most but I want to see literally everything. I am so excited for this.
Poovanthern Padayachee
I want to go because this is basically Tomorrowland for nerds. Or, in more local context, this is like Ultra for nerds. I wanna meet my people and have intense discussions about the things that other people roll their eyes at. Also, Jason.
Very keen to experience that vibe first-hand, and particularly to see some of the actors who will be there, and to hear insight and details directly from them about their previous and upcoming work.
Sila Odhuno
I love the cosplay and geek culture. Also I would love too see the celebrities!
I’ve been waiting years to go to comic con. I would love to go because graphic art is something I would love to do as a career ! I would also love to meet the cast of the big bang theory! Or even the cast of teen wolf. Or even meet Makoto Shinkai
Hory Shit
Cause I turn 45 in October but I’m truly just a kid at heart
Growing up iv always wanted to go to a comic con and check out all the cosplay characters. To meet and greet all the amazing characters iv seen in the movies as well. It would be an amazing dream come true ♥
Garyn Edward Da Silva!
I’m from Cape Town, would love to see any of the cast from Critical Role…. I’m a huge fan for DnD and tabletop gaming, play any games be it consol, pc or handheld, have been reading and collecting comics for years and actively participating in cosplay and the betterment of the geek community in South Africa.
My son Logan (aka Wolverine ??♂️) who is 8 years, loves the Marvel Universe. Taking him to experience such cool event would blow his mind… And his dad’s of cause. At his age, he schools his buddies ??
As a comic book for many many years this is going to be one of the most amazing experiences ever. Yes we had smaller events but this is going to be on a different level. I’ve been a fan of everything Superhero related since i was a little kid. I grew up with DC Comics and been a huge fan of their characters especially Superman . Being around fellow geeks and fans is just super awesome. I’m looking forward to all the merchandise, games, cosplay and ofcourse the celebs that are most likely to grace our shores including some big names in SA. That weekend the venue is going to be a Fortress of Solitude for many many like minded people and i hope i can be one of them for the entire weekend.
It’s the first one here so it’s a story to tell the kids one day. Being involved with everything geek for a whole weekend without having to travel to the states is an unmissable opportunity
Comics, collectibles, and it’s my birthday weekend
Nick Allum – enter the competition!
We (hubby and i) of going to the United States for Comic Con but they isn’t going to happen for a long time.
We are already trying to see where we can cut back in order to go to Comic Con Africa because it really is my husband’s dream.
He is such a geek and so am I by association.
We love seeing everyone in their Cosplay outfits, the imaginative and successful gender bends, the way they stay in character.
If we won tickets, it would be a dream come true.
Please pick us!
Jason Momoa…. oh yeah and the comics and stuff ;D
The idea of being at the first south African comic con is hugely exciting. It’s a landmark and as a huge fan of comics and avid collector for 40 years, the opportunity to be among the first visitors to this event, would be amazing.
I’m a Cosplayer and would to experience a con of this magnitude. Also I would love to meet Aquaman! This would be a dream come true!
Brett Paikin
I’d like to go seeing as I can’t afford to go overseas to enjoy the international ones. Really love the culture of comics, games & nerdery.
I want to go Cosplay with all of my friends at the event and would love to take pictures with all the guests. I would love to see some of the Avengers cast at ComicCon, international cosplay guests and local guests (such as Baka Sakura Cosplay or KomboKatjie Online or Black Lily Cosplay). We are planning a DC Bombshells cosplay group inspired by Ant Lucia’s artwork, so to have Ant Lucia himself as a guest would be beyond amazing!
I had been planning a trip to San Diego since 2006 specifically to go to comic Con. Obviously budget reasons have always hindered me. Life is hard. But hell’s bells we have finally got something on our shores that can compete and I would love the opportunity to go. Everything will be amazing at this event and I have to go!!!
I would like to go especially for the cosplay. And i would love to go see jason mamoa as auqa man.
Jason mamoa and just be at the first comic con africa would be the awesome
I was a shy child growing up before the time of social media and cell phones. My escape was the world of comic books. I grew up reading Marvel and DC comics and also watching old SCI FI movies where I was taken to galaxies and universes far away from real life.
Reading the superheroes overcome their villains helped me become a more confident person.
Comic Con is the greatest celebration of the stories I grew up reading and would love the opportunity to attend this event. Not because comic books heroes are all the rage now, but because they were my fortress of solitude growing up.
I’d like to see all the cosplay and geek culture in South Africa!!
Jason Momoa for one …
but the first ever true Comic Con on African soil ….
have to be there …
I really want to go because I love comics, grew up reading comic books. Being a mom raising a new generation superhero geeks and this would be a dream come true! Love all things Marvel and would love to see one of the Avengers- Thor maybe!
I need that ticket coz I have to pay for flights and accommodation too. And I haven’t won the lotto yet. And I need to be with my awesome fellow geeks and nerds. And I don’t know if Comic Con will come to RSA again. So I need it.. please ?
This is the adult equivalent of a kid in a candy store… especially if it’s one owned by Willy Wonka.
I’ve always wanted to go to a comic-Con . i even emailed Comic-Con a couple of years back, asking if they were ever going to come to SA.. dreams coming true ?
I would love to go as I wanna treat my son to comic con. Plus I wanna sit in Sheldon’s spot.

I’ve just gots to win! I wanna see it all, meet my heroes, dress up, introduce my 10 year old to all that is amazing!! We are already discussing our own costumes! Please let me win…i will be his hero ?
I would like to go because it’s gonna be awesome and it will make my year! I hope to see Thanos, I have a bone to pick with him?
I want to see ALL the things!! But my real interest would be all the cosplay entrants, any cosplay workshops/panels. Also any tabletop exhibits/gamesplays would be my next best thing.
M’aiq wants to go cuz he travels everywhere.
I’m going as M’aiq the Liar for the cosplay
I want to see the stuff (0_0 )
I want to see everything and I want to be seen dressed as Iron Man!!
I would love to go to see the cosplay (and highly likely particepate myself) as well as being a massive fan of commics.
I’m looking forward to meeting Jason Momoa while wearing my Khal Drogo cosplay. Need a photo!
I want to go to Comic Con because that will be the event of the year. If you don’t go there then you’re a loser and nobody wants to be a loser. I want to see all the incredible cosplays that people never bring to Rage and Geekfest. I want to see Khal Drogo *insert drool face* and all the international stars that will be there. This will be the biggest nerd/geek/weirdo gathering in Africa and missing it would be heartbreaking. I want to attend the panels so I can ask questions regarding shows and movies that have been eating at me for years. Also I will probably be buying out the whole place because of the awesome merchandises that will be there.
Aside from me being a huge comic book fan for the past 35 years, my wife wants to go see Jason Mamoa. I now walk around the house with a mop to wipe up her drool every time Jason Mamoa’s name is mentioned. Every time his name is mentioned, she lets out a little sigh
Always a major dream of mine. To be rubbing shoulders with the amazing actors from all my favorite shows. Khal Drogo and anyone else FROM game of Thrones and the big bang theory cast, amongst others. Would be one of the best days of my life. ?
This would be incredible. To experience and see all the local talent and see how everything else that this event has to offer.
I reaaaaalllly wanna go to Comic Con! JASON FREAKING MOMOA is going to be there! Freaking hell! The comic books would be epic! And the atmosphere and people are gonna be on fire!
I missed FanCon and Free Comic Book Day and this would make up for that!!! Will be going for celebs, comics, games and panels….
I want to go for the merchandise, cosplay and of course Jason Momoa. Can’t wait to share the experience with my husband.
I wanna go cos we have waited a long time for this. Would really like to the Big Bang Theory Cast
Comics! Cosplay! So many things to see, do, and spend money I don’t have on! What more reason would I need? hehe
I would literally love to see EVERYTHING!! It has been a seriously wish of mine to be able to attend Comic-Con in America but alas :(. But now with it coming to South Africa, it makes the goal a little bit more attainable!. Though I have to add seeing Jason Momoa would be like the best :) Also wouldn’t mind seeing the cast of Game of Thrones and all the cool cosplayers.
I wanna go cos COMICS! no other reason needed
