Overwatch voice actors head to MCM London Comic Con, London Spitfire backs Pink Mercy charity push

A trio of Overwatch voice actors will be holding meet-and-greets at MCM London Comic Con later this month.
Lucie Pohl (Mercy), Gaku Space (Genji) and Aleksandra Zaryanova (Zarya) will be attending the event which takes place at Excel London from May 25th to 27th.
The voice actors will be offering meet-and-greets to fans and selling autographs for £25 each, as well as photo sessions which vary in price.
They join the likes of The Guild’s Felicia Day, Star Wars’ Anthony Daniels, Metal Gear Solid’s David Hayter and others from the likes of Orange is the New Black, Grand Theft Auto V, Deadpool, The Walking Dead and more. You can see the full list of special guests at MCM London Comic Con here.
Other Overwatch voice actors made appearances at MCM Comic Con in Birmingham earlier this year: Anjali Bhimani (Symmetra), Jonny Cruz (Lucio), Carolina Ravassa (Sombra) and Fred Tatasciore (Soldier 76).
In addition to these, the voice of Tracer, Cara Theobold, attended EGX last year and took part in a Q&A and some activities in the EGX Overwatch area.

Think pink for charity

On a separate note, Overwatch character Mercy has been in the news for other reasons lately.
Blizzard has teamed up with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for a special promotion around a new pink Mercy skin. Proceeds – a minimum of $250,000 guaranteed – will go towards the breast cancer charity.
London Spitfire have turned their logo pink on Twitter as part of the activity.

Show your support and join the cause to help #BeTheEnd of Breast Cancer!@PlayOverwatch has released a T-Shirt and a Mercy skin in partnership with @BCRFcure! (Both will be available until May 21st)
