WHAT DO OUR VISITORS SAY?

Heroes Dutch Comic Con feels like one of those places where I can truly be who I want to be. I feel really at home everytime I’m here!

Jaarbeurs is an amazing location, the possibility for everyone to come in a decent traveltime makes it overall the best con of the year. Lots of great guests too!

Everyone was really nice, staff was kind and respectful and made sure to help and look after people. I felt very welcome and had a great time!

Heroes Dutch Comic Con is the first con I’ve ever visited and honestly the experience was amazing. I got a signature from Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad is like my favorite show so that meant a lot to me!) and the queue was not long at all!

Goated event + W cosplays!!! I can’t wait to do it all over again!

I had the best time ever, saw the most amazing cosplays, and made many new friends!

The location is really good, very central in the Netherlands. They also bring really nice Special Guests each edition and I can’t wait for the next HDCC already!

I felt safe and well looked after. The people at the stands, exhibitions, and photobooths were super friendly and patient. The people were very nice. Getting there was also easy, and we quickly found a parking spot.

It was my first time visiting and certainly not the last. I can’t wait for the next one!

It was super fun. I come in cosplay every year, and this year I was asked for photos and complimented a lot!

There were nice stalls at the Artist Alley and the Dealer Hall. I spent a lot of money and I’m happy that I was able to support the artists. Everyone was also really nice and polite.

I really liked the organization, the artists, the opportunity to see police cars and find completely new items for my collections. The amount of space that was allocated for this event positively surprised me. I will also want to attend the next edition again!

Heroes Dutch Comic Con is always a fun experience. I’m a Funko POP! collector, so the Dealer Hall is a dream come true. Taking a picture with Troy Baker was a great bonus!

Fun stalls, activities, workshops, games, and Special Guests. It was truly amazing! I managed to get an autograph from Jamie Campbell Bower. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you HDCC, until next time!

This was my first time visiting a comic con and it was always my dream to visit one. When I saw many merchandises that many artists brought for this con, I was mesmerized and not only that I was happy to see that a lot of people also cosplayed their favorite characters and they looked so cool.

This was my 4th time visiting and HDCC truly has become a genuine safe place for me in this short of a time. I have discovered the joy of cosplaying through this incredible event and I have obtained an awesome group of friends because of HDCC.

I enjoyed getting to know people in the same or different fandoms and also seeing their cosplays. I will definitely go again next time, and this time in cosplay myself!

The best and most organized comic con of the Netherlands, I really enjoyed it!

I look forward to HDCC all year and I am never disappointed. What an event!!! Already looking forward to the next one!

It is an event I look forward to every year. I have been going for 5 years now, and this year I took my boyfriend along for the first time. Now he wants to come along every time too, which is great!

It’s really nice to see how many different people and fandoms there are. Everyone feels at home here, and that makes me happy!

Everything was well organized, the staff was friendly, and I went home with lots of nice things.

First time at HDCC and it was fantastic. I really feasted my eyes. So much to see and nothing but good vibes :). Definitely until next time!

I had never been before and have never done anything so fun. There was so much to do and see. I bought a lot and it was a great weekend!

There is a cozy and friendly atmosphere. Plenty of stands for merchandising and food; in short, something for everyone.

This was the first time I visited HDCC with my daughter. I was very surprised by the setup. It is wonderful to see that everyone is allowed and able to be themselves; there is a very nice, cozy atmosphere. It was great to see how much diversity there is in the cosplay outfits and the attention the wearers have put into them. For my daughter and me, it was a successful day and an event we definitely want to visit again.

The best thing I saw? The Cosplay Contest! I feasted my eyes on all the beautiful cosplays.

Super fun! Met lots of new people with the same interests. Nice selection of things to buy. The fair was awesome too! There is always a lot to do.

I was enormously surprised. My 10-year-old son really wanted to go… but I was actually even happier than he was. What a wonderful experience!

If you love gaming, you don’t want to miss this! There was so much to do, and you can play and try out a lot of games for free.

It was my first time there and it was fantastic. It’s really nice that everyone is allowed to be themselves there. I will definitely come again!

The people are great, the staff is the most precious ever and the location and halls are just beautiful. I love the variety of things you can do there like Just Dance and all the free to play games.

It was my first time and I thought it was amazing! I got a VIP ticket for my birthday from my friends and it was the best bday present ever!

It was another exciting experience! Saw a lot, discovered a lot. Until next time!

It was my first time in the Netherlands and I had such a great time! People here at the con were so sweet and the staff was so understanding and kind. I was really stressed to be there alone, but this was one of the most welcoming comic cons I’ve ever been to!

As always, everything was well organized again. This allowed me to stroll past all the stands at my leisure, chat with my favorite cosplayers, and meet Special Guests. And, of course, thoroughly enjoy the activities on the main stage. And in between, I could take a nice break in the VIP lounge every now and then.

It’s always fun and very welcoming. It feels like coming home every time you walk in.

It’s enough space for everyone. There are enough outside places too. Everything is organized. Enough food and drinks and toilets to find. Lovely vibe!

I enjoyed the atmosphere, and the stands a lot! Seeing people cosplay some of the characters I love was amazing and it’s a big reason for me to go again!

It’s so much fun every time! We go again and again with our group of friends, and I wouldn’t want to be without it anymore.

Amazing! It was my first time and I was quite nervous. Would people like my homemade cosplay? But so many people wanted to take pictures with me and said, “Wow, that’s so cool.” I felt completely at home!

Very well organized. Easy to reach from the train station. Nice and helpful staff. Good use of every hall. All with all, my favorite comic con I’ve ever visited!

The people from the organization were very friendly. I came mainly for Jamie and really had the most fantastic interactions with him. Best day of my life!
