NYCC is certainly not the same con it was a few years ago. While I've gotten tickets for the last four years, this is only the second time I've been able to attend. Back in 2009, my first time there, it felt far more like a trade show than a fan-friendly convention. Which isn't bad, just different.
This time it felt like a little SDCC, only with much worse logistics.
Seriously, who the hell makes it so that you can only go from one floor to the other on escalators, and then doesn't have the escalators in two by two banks?
Not to mention it seemed like everyone forgot the golden rule of "Keep to the right."
The Sea of People aside, I had a great con. Even went to far more comic-related panels than I usually do, though neither one was from the Big Two.
All in all a great geek weekend.
