COMIXPLOSION TO THE WORLD: Virtual Fan Experience

Movie Jabber’s Comixplosion is a fan event for lovers of comic books, and comic book related entertainment. As of this announcement, physical events are not yet being permitted to occur in our country, Kenya, due to COVID-19. As such, we have decided to take the Kenyan pop-culture scene to the global stage, virtually.

When will it happen?

Comixplosion to the World virtual fan experience will stream on Saturday, August 8th from 7PM – 8PM (EAT). With a cosplay centric live stream after that, from 8PM – 9PM. These streams will happen simultaneously on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitch handles.

This is a free event, no payment will be required of viewers. Our goal is to target a Kenyan audience that is unaware of this scene happening right here at home in their backyard, as well as the global audience.
