Mariel García Spooner, representative of Comic Con Panama explains, “We love the world of entertainment. Within the team we are film and event producers, collectors and geeks (those who love technology and computers)”.
García Spooner comments that the idea arose when they had the opportunity to travel to Comic Con Chile and San Diego Comic Con, where they observed the importance that pop culture currently has at an international level, made up of television series, video games, the cinema and cosplay, which consists of dressing as characters from pop culture.
What is Comic Con Panama?
It is the flashiest and most successful fan phenomenon at its finest. Based on a format that was born 40 years ago in the United States, it has been transformed into a unique and unrepeatable social experience.
Comic Con is the pop culture event that defines an era and since 2011 thousands and thousands of fans have fallen in love throughout the continent, strengthening itself as the most important entertainment convention in Panama and Latin America.
Comic Con invites you to enjoy three days of the latest discoveries in the world of film, television, comics, and video games. Because Comic Con is not a fair, talk or workshop, it is not a convention, an exhibition, it is an incredible and unique experience in life, that when you dare to experience it you become a fan and look forward to the arrival of the most exciting days of the year.
Meeting: The arrival of this format in Panama could be an excellent meeting point annually so that all the fans in Central America can meet. The privileged geographical position of Panama is of great benefit for Comic Con Panama to become a stable event that people want to see annually.
The Panamanian team works hand in hand with Planet Comics, who have been the organizers of Comic Con Colombia for 6 years to have that experience in Panama for the first time. In the Central American region, there are only two events of this nature. Text source: panama50.com
