The Oz Comic-Con, which has been running since 2012, is one of the country's top pop culture and comic-con events, alongside those that take place in Brisbane (September 21-22) and Sydney (September 28-29).

It's a major showcase of all the latest studio activations, comics, anime and manga, superhero movies and video games, plus plenty of merchandise. Hundreds of cosplayers come from far and wide to show off their elaborate costumes.
