Re: Comic Con New York
I'm going. I don't have any must-sees. None of the panels are doing it for me this year. Maybe the Dark Knight panel. I wouldn't mind seeing the Death of Superman doc playing in Brooklyn Saturday. I still haven't decided what day I want to go. Probably Sunday when the vendors are dropping prices on their stock.

Re: Comic Con New York
Looking at the panels, and the guests listed for Saturday, nothing really jumps out at me either. None of the autographing guests really seem to be that huge get like they had last year. And If I am only going for one day, I am not going to spend the majority of that day waiting in line to get into a panel. I had some interest in that BTTF doc, but not enough to take a day off of work.

Re: Comic Con New York
I can definitely see how it could be alot of work. Luckily there is someone in our group that does all the leg work as far as finding out who has the decent exclusives worth getting and where the re going to be. Aside from that, for me, the con consists of walking down each aisle and checking stuff out. Lots of walking. We dont worry about any of the panels simply because having only one day there, we dont want to spend alot of it in line for a panel. The only other thing that may take some time and planning is the autographing, if one so chooses. Last year I went downstairs to the autographing area later in teh afternoon and breezed through. Got all 4 that I was interested in in under an hour.

Re: Comic Con New York
I was thinking of going, mainly because I wanted to take the new train line, the extension of the #7 train that goes right to the Javits Center, for the first time. But when I mentioned it to my daughter she said that Comic Con was sold out already. This was weeks ago. So I didn't bother trying. I used to get a press pass, but then they made it really hard to get one. The last Comic Con I attended was in 2011.

Re: Comic Con New York
holy crap, it was crowded this year. I'm going to have to skip next year or go on a Thursday. I did pretty much bump into Robert Kirkman so that was cool. I took out $200 from the ATM but didn't end up buying anything. All I took home was a sample of the Welcome to Night Vale book. Oh well, I have too many unread comics already. I was hoping to find a good t-shirt though. Those crowds were not browsing friendly though.

i got so sick going into the station :X i think ill walk next time
I usually always go sunday due to not being able to get a ticket my gf got me a friday ticket so i went down and was amazed on how empty it was with a lot of space to move around and browse. i will say it is a lot harder to keep your cool with idiots when its not as busy because its more noticeable.
i literally bumped into whoopie goldberg and her entourage in the main lobby.
i spent 15 bucks on a couple books I got some of the dc bombshell variants signed and a rucka signature and enjoyed my time will prolly go on fridays from now on
