Join us for a celebration of all things superhero, as writers, producers and stats of film and TV make their way to the Isle of Wight for the first ever Isle of Wight Comic Con.
Assemble your team and prepare for the event of your life, taking place on November 4th and 5th at Northwood House, where you can dress as your hero, meet your hero and become a hero - as you join many more fans of all things pop culture.
Every hero sets off on a journey, and luckily Red Funnel can help you make it to Isle of Wight Comic Con, with regular sailings from Southampton.
Take the Red Jet for a comfortable 30 minute crossing, landing in Cowes - a short walk from Island Con, or take the vehicle ferry, with hourly crossings to East Cowes - just a short drive from comic con. Check to see if the chain ferry is running, as this will mean a short journey across to Cowes.
Please note, if the chain ferry is not running, there is a passenger launch - but those with cars will have to make the journey into Newport and then into Cowes.
Every superhero needs a base, and Cowes has plenty to choose from. Whether you are looking for a place Tony Stark would be proud of, or something on a smaller scale, like Ant-Man might choose, you'll be spoilt for choice.
Use our list below to find your perfect superhero base this November.
