Expocómic 2016: Star Wars & Alien



This year Expocómic was dedicated to many science fiction works like Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad… but the two things that attracted people the most were Star Wars and the upcoming Alien: Covenant!
Among many activities which promoted Star Wars and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016, Dir. Gareth Edwards), Versus Madrid appealed to people of all ages. The stage combat showed all the Star Wars spirit which seemed like watching a theater play and all the movies from the past to come back to live.



The second event was to take countless selfies and group photos with the two statues from Alien to promote not only H. R. Giger’s Xenomorph but also Stan Winston’s Predator. It was remarkable how the second statue was completely made of metal like the one seen in Hotel Hananoyu (Shizuoka, Japan).


Finally, even though this was a day for comics, Expocómic also included many other activities related to music, videos and even sports! For example, Tripe W (White Wolf Wrestling) offered amazing exhibitions.
