MCM Comic Con London 2019 saw fans from across the country storm the Excel Exhibition Centre once again for London\u2019s final Comic Con this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, of course, a con is not a con without the incredible cosplayers around the event – from fan-favourites like Spider-Man to more obscure characters like Doctor Who companions.<\/p>\n

The community has continued to grow over recent years, meaning even more creations from across pop culture. In fact, there are so many to enjoy, you could almost have a game of Cosplay Bingo – tried and tested to work very well – or in this case, a game of Top Trumps.<\/p>\n

But who would win?<\/p>\n
