Northeast’s maiden Comic Con India stirs latent pop culture

Comic Con India, the subcontinent’s largest pop culture celebration that brings together fans of comics, anime, gaming, movies, cosplay contests, and other interactive activities, proved to be a “considerable hit” in its first exposition beyond the metropolises and “mainland” cities.

The multi-city event, organised in Guwahati on November 22 and 23, attracted a few thousand of pop culture enthusiasts. The organisers said the response exceeded expectations in a city where the general gloom after the death of Assamese cultural icon Zubeen Garg was palpable.
