Comic Con returned to Liverpool today and thousands of people went all out to dress up for the event.
People travelled from around the country to visit the convention. Comic Con is a huge celebration of sci fi, comic, tv and film culture, with cosplay a huge part of the event.
Before the doors opened this morning, there was a large queue outside the Exhibition Centre where it was being held. The ECHO met people in the queue including a woman dressed as Neytiri from Avatar, including two-hours’ worth of face paint.
