Back To
New York Comic Con! My favorite convention of the year not because I'm a New Yorker but because it's a big convention that still focuses on comics and
not mainly celebrities like SDCC. There was beef
with CGC and Sway on Thursday. For some reason,
CGC wasn't allowed to witness. I didn't get to buy
much because most of the dealers had crazy
prices. I picked up Peach Momoko's Space Usagi
foil, Dept of Truth bootleg (which was hard to get),
Transformers from Comic Mint, and some other
shop exclusives. I did manage to snag a few
variants & exclusives such as Ghost Machine
ashcans, Skybound's Transformers & Duke for
attending each respective panel. Marvel wasn't allowing photography in the "Next Big Thing" (which wasn't Ben Grim) panel with announcements but they released the news anyways later. Saw Tom Hardy for like 2 seconds. He ran off the floor with
security. Other panels I attended were DC, Women
of Marvel, Marvel Fanfare (Lucas Werneck, Elena
Casagrande, Adi Granov, Steve McNiven, Frank
Miller, and John Romita Jr. talked about their
careers and jerked each other off over work. A new
project from Steve McNiven teased a new project
during the panel as “My Love Letter to Frank Miller”),
Blumhouse, and Spawn Panel. They gave out more
than 250 of the Todd McFarlane-signed Spawn
comics. Because the room was tense and people
were waiting near the exits doing a head count for
the 250 copies. I missed out on McFarlane because
Chris Evans was signing. Sarcasm Hime won the cosplay contest as Queen from Snow Glass Apples. Good luck to her as she will be going to the finals at C2E2 next year.
