Its longevity, having grown from earlier smaller gatherings, including a 2013 Christmas meetup in Paceville, into a full two-day convention at Malta's largest exhibition venue, alongside its own dedicated comic art gallery and affiliated cosplay competitions, gives it genuine standing within the wider European convention circuit
