Comic Con brings all the heroes to the yard

JOHANNESBURG - Capes, controllers, and comic books at the ready: it’s nerd nirvana season.

The fourth edition of Comic Con is rolling out at Johannesburg Expo Centre in Nasrec, levelling up the city’s cool factor.

Thousands of superfans are assembling for four epic days of gaming, cosplay, and geeking out over all things fandom.

But for many, it’s more than just donning a cape or mask, it’s a full-blown celebration of the stories, characters, and quirky communities that make their worlds spin.
