We’re hoping to see this kind of brazen display of self confidence at Jakarta’s Comic Con.
Get out your favorite superhero costumes, because soon you’ll have a place to wear them without looking ridiculous.
Global geek-fest Comic Con is coming to Jakarta’s JIExpo in Kemayoran in September.
We expect there to be the usual pop culture attractions at Jakarta’s version of Comic Con, but how amazeballs would it be if Hollywood’s biggest stars and filmmakers came to our Comic Con to announce new movies? One can only dream.
Jakarta Comic Con is being organized by Thai entertainment giants BEC-Tero True Visions, the company that brought Comic Con to Bangkok. The organizers are holding the event in conjunction with the Anime Festival Asia Indonesia (AFA ID) 2015, and they expect a turnout of 30,000 over the three days.
“Jakarta Comic Con and AFA ID happen [to be at the] same time and place because we want this to be a joint event between two biggest pop culture phenomenons from the western and eastern hemispheres,” said Ira Novita, event and promotion manager at Megindo (a supporting organizer for the event), as quoted by the Jakarta Globe yesterday.
As if the battle between DC and Marvel isn’t enough. Let’s hope there won’t be a clash of comic book nerds as they debate who’d win in a fight between Superman and Dragon Ball’s Goku (the answer is Batman, obviously).
