Deep Space 2 members attended to the Comiccon Antwerp September Convention. Some went on Saterday, most went on Sunday, some went the entire weekend.

This is the first time we have a Comiccon in Antwerp, Belgium, so it was not as big as the big brothers in Brussels and Gent (F.A.C.T.S.), but it was a nice science fiction, fantasy, anime & comics convention.
- a crowd favorite: the cosplay competition
- the game zone with a/o Game Mania, Nintendo, PS4, Ubisoft, Marvel, retro gaming, and much more
- there were large screen screenings, Q&A sessions, chill out zones, grime sessions, and so much more

We did not go to all Q&As. These are (very short) the ones we went to.

Q&A Michael Winslow
Michael Winslow has become famous for the special sounds he makes in the Police Academy Movies. He gave an extended demonstration of his talent and told us how it all began.

And last but not least...

The next F.A.C.T.S. Con is in Gent, October 21-22, 2017 Flanders Expo, Maaltekouter 1, 9051 Ghent, Belgium

The next Comiccon in Belgium is in Brussels, February 10-11, 2018, Tour & Taxis, Brussels
