I went to New York Comic Con the other day. As usual, it was mobbed – claustrophobic.
These days, it’s less about comics and more about tv, movies and streaming, but if you look, you can find some comics-related things.
I saw the National Cartoonists Society booth and the Comics Kingdom booth. I’m not sure if GoComics.com was there, I didn’t seem them.
Comics Kingdom tells me I am on their short list to be published by them, but I didn’t see anyone I new at the booth to pester about that, so I didn’t
I tried to find my cousin who usually works the booth for the comics company he works with, but I couldn’t find him in the crowd.
See that Batman photo above, from his back, I was following him from behind, filming him for a mini movie and he turned and asked me to take his picture with Superman, who you can see there. I didn’t get the image on my camera, but I took a few of them together on his phone for him.
There were a few Spider-men around, not the usual dozens that I usually see and of course, there were many characters that I didn’t know who they were.
A couple of times I heard people thanking others for knowing who they were, so maybe they weren’t that common and only real fans knew who those cosplayers were.
When I left, scalpers were asking for my badge. I didn’t scan myself out because I knew I wasn’t returning, so it was not a usable badge if you don’t scan out, and I almost sold my “dead” badge to the scalpers, but then realized they wouldn’t lose out – an innocent person who buys the badge from them would suffer, so I didn’t sell it, I just saved it as a souvenir.
