I’m back from my first ever trip to the Big Apple. It was an overwhelming experience for me to say the least. I’m torn on my feelings about the city itself, but singular on my feelings about the New York Comicon.
The New York Comicon reminds me of the San Diego con circa 2001. Things had just started getting big, but not so big that you wanted to kill yourself on day two. It’s mostly still about comics (albeit they had a big video game presence) which is awesome. The first half-day of the con is reserved for professionals and other exhibitors, which is something I miss at the SDCC. It’s a nice calm before the storm and an opportunity for those stuck behind the booth all weekend to get out and browse.
