Luke had this to say about the event:
“Portsmouth Comic Con means so much to me and I was honoured when I was asked to produce this Podcast. When I first heard about the event in 2018 I knew it was something the city, and the South Coast, needed and it’s been a joy to see it evolve over the years while also still holding onto its core values.
It’s an entertaining and inclusive weekend for fans and families who want to embrace their passions while enjoying everything the world of Comics and Pop Culture has to offer. This event not only makes me proud to be a geek, but to be a geek from Portsmouth.”
