I might make a guest appearance as just realized I'm off work due to already having time booked for "that" other show in San Diego that no one is going to.

Am I missing something? but was this a 2 day show originally?

The Show site only states 30th July. I was going to arrange to go to both days but by chance only arranged to go on the 30th. If others are not aware of the change there is going to be a lot of disappointment and anger.

I think it was always a one day show.
I wonder if Bryan Robson will still be there?

This show is looking very exciting, NOT. Frown

Hope plenty of card dealers turn up to make it worth the trip.

It would not be an MCM Expo Comic Con without some great giveaways. The first 2000 attendees will get a DVD of Kamui The Lone Ninja courtesy of Manga Entertainment. Topps Marvel Universe HERO ATTAX Trading Card Promo Pack, Free Comic books from Diamond Comics and more.
Kamui The Lobe Ninja

A very enjoyable manga adaption from director Yoichi Sai (Blood And Bones) and starring Ken’ichi Matsuyama (L Change The WorLd, Bare Essence Of Life), but ‘probably the best ninja movie ever’… what, really?

Based on the legenadry series created by Japanese artist Sanpei Shirato in 1964, Kamui: The Lone Ninja tells of it’s eponymous hero, played by Ken’ichi Matsuyama (Death Note, Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler), a young man who has spent all of his life as one type of outcast or another. Attempting to find true freedom away from inherited cast and clan he turns his back on life as a ninja, making him a target for the ninja hunters led by his one time master Dumok (Ekin Cheung, Storm Warriors, Tokyo Raiders).

Kamui finds fleeting solace with spirited fisherman Hanbei (Kaoru Kobayashi, Princess Mononoke, Tales from Earthsea) who invites him to stay with his family. Yet even here Kamui discovers himself face-to-face with a long-forgotten nemesis, another renegade ninja with a deadly score to settle. And all the while the ninja hunters are setting a trap from which there can be no escape…
