ACME Comic Con


ACME Comic Con was a bi-annual fan convention held at the Scottish Events Campus in Glasgow, Scotland. It was organised by Attic Convention and Media Events.

History

Before 2020 a Comic Convention called MCM Scotland was held at the SEC since 2013. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a restructuring of MCM after a buyout from Reedpop, MCM scaled back their UK conventions to just MCM London and MCM Birmingham. ACME announced they would be taking over hosting a comic con event at the SEC with two events, one in March and one in September.
ACME Comic Con hosted its first Convention in Halls 1 & 2 of the Scottish Events Campus on the 5th and 6 March 2022, It then hosted its second event in Hall 4 on 24 and 25 September 2022. In 2024 the March event moved from Halls 1 & 2 to Hall 3 and the September event expanded from Hall 4 into Hall 3.
