ComicCon Returns to New York

It's that time of year again in New York, if you see Batman or one of the Ninja Turtles or Walking Dead heading down the street, it's not early trick-or-treaters, it's the crowd headed to the Jacob Javits Center for New York ComicCon, the annual fall ritual around these parts.

It's that time of year again in New York, if you see Batman or one of the Ninja Turtles or Walking Dead heading down the street, it's not early trick-or-treaters, it's the crowd headed to the Jacob Javits Center for New York ComicCon, the annual fall ritual around these parts.


The event is sold out, sorry guys, all I can do is share photos and some of my reactions here, but if you did not purchase tickets now for the non-stop four day event, you're out of luck unless you're willing to deal with scalpers who hang out on 9th Avenue selling what they have. New York Comic Con runs at the Javits Center and other areas around the city from Thursday, October 8, through Sunday, October 11, when it's all things pop culture. New York City becomes Cosplay territory for four days in October.

The last few years, there were a lot of Spider-man cosplayers but this year, I saw a lot of Batman, current and the classic 1960s Batman.
Grumpy Cat was a hit, he slept through it all and didn't appear so grumpy, but plenty of people took his photo and enjoyed seeing him.
I enjoyed watching cartoonist HIllary Price draw at the National Cartoonists Society booth. She does the daily comic strip, Rhymes With Orange.
