" Mark Millar has announced that Kapow! Comic Con will launch in London in April 2011. Organised by the Kick-Ass writer, the event is billed as the UK equivalent to the San Diego Comic-Con. &amp;quot;The idea behind Kapow! is to bring the San Diego experience to Central London,&amp;quot; Millar told Empire. &amp;quot;All the studios have a massive presence here in the UK, dozens of the world&amp;#039;s biggest comic creators are here and most of the comic book movie adaptations are being filmed just up the road.&amp;quot; Taking place at the London Business Design Centre, the convention features a lineup of high-profile creators, including Brian Bolland, Olivier Coipel, Paul Cornell, Andy Diggle, Steve Dillon, Dave Gibbons, Bryan Hitch, Jock, Brendan McCarthy, John McCrea, Kevin O&amp;#039;Neill, Frank Quitely, John Romita Jr and Leinil Francis Yu. The event will also host the debut of the Stan Lee Awards, which honour &amp;quot;creativity and imagination&amp;quot; in the medium of comics. A full schedule is expected to be revealed in February. The Kapow! Comic Con takes place on April 9 and April 10, 2011. Tickets are available through the event&amp;#039;s website. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
