Taking place on June 3 and 4, fans from all over Ireland assembled to meet the writers and artists behind their favourite comics. There were also several visitors to the convention from England and Scotland as well as one fan who had come all the way from France giving ComicFest an international flavour and demonstrating how far its popularity has spread.

The sun shone on Saturday morning as the queue started to build in front of St. Macartin's Cathedral Hall for ComicFest itself. Classic old comics were onsale and small-press creators offered a stunning range of their publications.

"The buzz continued all day with queues of fans waiting for autographs and sketches from our guests including one of the most popular comic writers in the world, Garth Ennis, creator of Preacher and The Boys, writer Gerry Finley-Dan making his first convention appearance, artist William Simpson who worked on Game of Thrones and Nigel Parkinson who draws Dennis The Menace for the Beano. Nigel had a huge group of young fans at his table all day wanting drawings," said Paul Trimble, Chairperson of Enniskillen ComicFest Organising Committee.

On Saturday evening things moved to Blakes of the Hollow for the Battle Action launch panel which was enjoyed by a large crowd.
The Enniskillen Hotel hosted ComicFest for another very busy day on Sunday.
"As the day wound down there were last minute purchases and just time for one last autograph," said Paul, adding: "A thoroughly enjoyable weekend for everyone and once again the Enniskillen ComicFest has been recognised as one of the premier Comic Conventions in the UK.
"Here's to next year!"
