New York Comic Con

[Darth_Primus]

Nice!

Hopefully one of these years I'll make it to NYCC before it turns into SDCC where tickets will be hard to come by.

[Mister Ed]

I never pictured Bane as being that hairless. (I haven't seen Dark Knight Rises yet, so maybe he is there- though this is clearly the comics version.)

I asked a friend of mine to take some snapshots while he was at the show for vicarious living purposes. Since nobody else knows how to take a photo around here ( ), here are some pics from the NYCC:

[JerzeyJ]

I went Thursday and Sunday. From now on, Thursday is the only day to go for me. Got to talk with artists and got some cool commisions done. I was able to hit every booth and check all the crap out. Found a good deal on an Animated Sinestro statue for $20. It was a great day. I was there so long I didn't go back Friday.

Went again Sunday, and screw that. It was so friggin' packed I hated it. Lines, crowds, couldn't see or do anything. Never again on a weekend.

[Sylent_Asassin]

Wow! Tons of things going on! I hope you guys have a great time. Take plenty of photos for the rest of us underprivileged folk for vicarious living purposes.
