The UK’s biggest and best celebration of pop. culture, McM London Comic Con returns to ExCel London on 23-25 May for a long weekend packed with special guests, sci-fi, movies, videogames, comic books, eSports, online video, anime and cosplay. Here’s a taste of what will be on show.

Special Guests

Special guests meeting fans, presenting panels and signing autographs at the show include: Orphan Black star Dylan Bruce (Arrow, 24: Conspiracy, Unstoppable). Falling Skies’ Drew Roy (Secretariat, Hannah Montana), Connor Jessup (Blackbird), Seychelle Gabriel (The Spirit) and Luciana Carro (Battlestar Galactica). Game Of Thrones’ James Cosmo (Braveheart, Highlander), Julian Glover (Star Wars, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade) and Josef Altin (Eastern Promises). Nikita, Kick-Ass and How I Met Your Mother star Lyndsy Fonseca. Once Upon A Time’s Meghan Ory (Intelligence) and Beverley Elliott (Unforgiven). Henry Winkler, famous for playing iconic character The Fonz on Happy Days.

A new Tales game is imminent, it seems, after Namco Bandai pointed gamers in the direction of a website which teases a future announcement for the series. Entitled ‘Next Tales of…’ the website illustrates the legacy of the studio’s long-running franchise —with particular nods to Tales of Destiny and Tales of Phantasia— while hinting towards the latest installment.

The studio took to Twitter to publish the tease, which can be viewed below:

When translated, the message essentially reads: “We are planning to announce soon the mothership title which is the latest installment of ‘Tales of’ series…” Given that the studio registered trademarks for Tales of Zesteria in both Europe and North America back in September, it seems likely that Hideo Baba — the franchise’s prestigious producer — and his team will choose that...

McM Expo/London Comic Con returns to ExCel London on 25th – 27th October. As well as hosting a galaxy of great sci-fi, movie, games, comics, anime and cosplay content, they’ve also got their usual huge line up of special guests – with more guests being added all the time! see www.mcmcomiccon.com for the latest London Comic Con news – but here’s a round-up of who’s been announced so far:

Red hot fantasy-noir show Lost Girl is coming to McM London Comic Com, with stars Ksenia Solo (Black Swan, Life Unexpected) and Rachel Skarsten (Transporter: The Series, Birds Of Prey) plus executive producer Jay Firestone (Andromeda, La Femme Nikita). Stars from hit sci-fi series Warehouse 13: Kelly Hu (Arrow, X-Men 2, The Vampire Diaries); Eddie McClintock (Bones, Desperate Housewives) and actor/director Saul Rubinek (Frasier, Curb Your Enthusiasm). The stars of new crime thriller By Any Means: Warren Brown (Luther,...

In a post to the official PlayStation blog yesterday, Namco Bandai producer Hideo Baba revealed that Tales of Xillia 2, sequel to the similarly named original to be released in the U.S. and Europe this August, will indeed be getting the localization treatment for 2014.

After briefly thanking the series’ fans, Baba went on to describe the game’s premise a bit, mentioning that it is set roughly one year after the events of the first game while featuring a different main character, Ludger Kresnik. Apparently, this dude’s family has the ability to travel between alternate timelines, and completely destroy them in the process. Sounds pretty awesome to me.

Baba also explained that the concept of “choice” will permeate the game in more ways than one. Firstly, the plot has the ability to branch off in many directions depending on how you instruct Ludger to act – whether this results in multiple different endings is unclear,...
