I recently had the opportunity to attend Q-Con XXII in Belfast, Ireland. It was held June 19-21 and is one of Ireland’s biggest gaming and anime conventions.

A special thanks to AĆ­ne (red shirt) and Alianne (blue shirt) at registration who got me all set up when I got there.

On a side note, the neck lanyards they gave you on arrival were amazing. They contained all the information you needed and more – incredibly handy.

Of particular interest to me was Q-Con’s Artist Alley.

As mentioned, I went to Q-Con primarily for their Artist Alley, but there was plenty of great cosplay on hand as well.

As this was my very first time overseas, here’s hoping I can make it to more comic cons abroad in the near future…
