Liverpool Comic-Con, May 2nd.

[u/OGPirateMaterialist]

I’ve never attended a comic-con before, but jumped at the opportunity to visit Liverpool as the con happens to be on my 24th Birthday. Not only that, but I was able to secure a photo-op with Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill so I’m obviously gassed about that given that’s my favourite era of Doctor Who. Shame their autograph opportunities sold out though!

I’m wondering however, what does a comic-con usually look like when you’ve got photo opportunities booked? I’m going with a friend of mine, but I’m concerned I’ll spend a large chunk of the day waiting in a queue as he isn’t joining me for the photo. I just have no idea what it’ll look like if I’m honest, so any advice or tips would be appreciated. The last thing I want is me wasting the day in a queue and not being able to explore what’s on offer with my pal.

Additionally, how many photos do they take during the shoot? Do you get the chance to do a few different poses and stuff? Or is it literally just walk in, say hello, photo is taken once and then you’re sent on your way… thanks!

While you are getting a the photo can you ask them for an autograph? ✍️

I’m wondering this too, although I don’t believe you can. I’m under the impression it’s very much a ‘one in-one out’ type of thing.
