COLOURFUL characters of all kinds descended on Newport at the weekend for Comic Con Wales.
The two-day event was hosted on Saturday, August 6, and Sunday, August 7, with people donning their favourite cosplay costumes flocking to meet artists and stars – including John Cena (Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad).
Other stars at Comic Con Wales included:
- Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina the Teenage Witch);
- James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer);
- Steven Ogg and Chandler Riggs (The Walking Dead);
- Actors from Cobra Kai, Gotham, Teen Wolf, Suits, and more.
