Aberdeen welcomed the return of Comic Con as thousands of fans turned up, including a superhero or two.

Fans got the chance to indulge their passion for comic books, superheroes and video games, as they stepped Comic Con.

Many got dressed up for the occasion and went as their favourite superhero to “strut their stuff’ in true cosplay fashion.

A gaming zone, kids corner, competitions and photo opportunities were just a slice of the activities taking place at today’s Comic Con event.

Our photographer Darrell Benns was on hand today to catch a glimpse of the action at the P&J Live arena.
