MCM Birmingham Comic ConMCM Birmingham Comic Con takes place this Saturday and Sunday (November 21 & 22). Non-Sport Update will be set up at stall L9. We’re excited for the show to get underway.

This year’s MCM Birmingham Comic Con (at this point, the show organizers have pretty much dropped the show’s former name of Memorabilia) features an array of interesting celebrity guests including Liv Tyler (Armageddon, The Lord of the Rings), Lee Majors (The Six Million Dollar Man, The Fall Guy), Game of Thrones trio Ian McElhinney, Eugene Simon, and Ian Beattie, and many others. A special auction will take place on Sunday auctioning off 21 Star Wars pieces autographed by Ralph McQuarrie. The auction benefits Acorns Children’s Hospice. Kids Zone is open all weekend at MCM Birmingham Comic Con offering face painting. A special Kids Zone promotion will allow fans to pick up an MCM Kids Mini Superhero Cape when they pick-up stickers from around the show venue. And as now usual for MCM Birmingham Comic Con, cosplay activities take place all show long.

Trading card collectors will find many card retailers on-hand selling both new and vintage cards. Expect to see dealers Paul Hart, Umbrella Trading Cards, and many others at tables around the show floor.

Dec '15/Jan '16 variant issue of Non-Sport Update

Moving along to our NSU‘s participation at the show…Non-Sport Update will be located at stall L9 with subscription and renewal specials, current and back issues, reference books, special promo card offers, and more. We have produced a special MCM Birmingham Comic Con variant version of the new Dec ’15/Jan ’16 issue as a convention special. The issue features Cryptozoic Entertainment’s The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies on the cover and includes three very limited-edition Hobbit: BOTFA promotion cards inside (copies contain all three promo cards) Only 150 have been produced. You can see the issue’s cover above and read more about it on our variant issue page. A few of these copies have been held back for those who can not make the show but those will likely be soon sold out as sales have been very brisk (see our variant issue page for ordering information). Your best chance of getting a copy is to see Non-Sport Update at MCM Birmingham Comic Con!

We hope to see you at the show.
