ACME Comic Con is a bi-annual fan convention held at the Scottish Events Campus in Glasgow, Scotland. It is organised by ACME Events.

History

Before 2020 a Comic Convention called MCM Scotland (an offshoot of MCM London) 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[1] 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 6th of March 2022, it then hosted its second event in Hall 4 on the 24th and 25th of September 2022[2]
