What to Look Forward to at NYC Comic Con

In 2013, New York Comic Con attracted over 133,000 attendees, making it the second largest pop culture and comic book gathering in the country! This year promises to be even bigger and better. Comic Con has been extended to a full week of pop-culture festival fun starting on October 3 and ending with the three-day ticketed event at the Javits Center. At every corner of all five boroughs of the city there will be concerts, gaming events, comedy shows, lectures, food tastings, podcasts, and more, so be sure to check them out.

What to know what to look forward to at NYC Comic Con? Throughout the Show Floor at the Javits Center, you will be able to shop for comics, snap pictures with your favorite cosplay characters (my personal favorite is Wolverine), purchase original illustrations in Artist Alley, and venture in The Block. The Block combines collectible toys, fashion, art, and design of the underground pop culture scene.

Are you a Marvel Comics fanatic or obsessed with The Walking Dead? Perfect! At NYCC you will be able to meet many comic, entertainment, and literary guests like Patrick Stewart from Star Trek: The Next Generation, or a special guest from the hit show Breaking Bad. For your absolute must-meet or you’ll die individuals, set aside some time so you can get an autograph from them during their assigned time slot.

The amazing Panels offer the ability to learn skills from game creators or speak with some of the cast of a hit TV show or movie. It’s also a great way to end the day after walking around the floor all afternoon.

For first timers to get the most out of their experience, be sure to download the official NYCC app on your Smartphone to determine panel details, autographing schedules, exhibits, giveaways, and contests plus so much more.
