It will also be organizing workshops with artists and creators across the country, focused on creating and appreciating comic books. This will be followed by Cosplay Week from 8 July to 14 July, where enthusiasts can share their cosplay plan for 2019 and stand a chance to win exciting prizes. The third week will be dedicated to all the geeks to talk geeky, think geeky, write fictions, and grab some amazing giveaways. The final week will bring a chance for the fans to flaunt “The Collector” in them and win more cool merchandises.
