Well hello there again my friends its nice to see you back here at the PiercingMetal Media Command HQ for another report from the 2019 New York Comic Con. As you’ve likely discerned by now, I am very, very thorough when it comes to this event and we are up to the fifth and final chapter from the Day Three event. This is the Saturday session so the busiest of them all. I’ll continue after suggesting that you click HERE first to see all the earlier posts. I’ll pick up from the last time and keep on keeping on. Let’s go.

I made sure to keep checking in over at the DC Comics pavilion since they often have buckets of cool buttons and stacks of free comic books to take away. Generally speaking since they know I am handing some of these things out to our more dedicated followers they let me take a few. One thing that was being offered was a special McFarlane print of Batman if you signed up for the DC Comics credit card. I didn’t need this of course but the young lady who had the poster had such an amazing smile that she gets a spotlight in this post.

Hello there my friends and welcome to my full on, in-depth presentations and visualizations from the 2019 New York Comic Con. Yesterday I had announced that I was once again attending as a member of the press and in that broadcast let the readership know that this would by my “10th” straight year of attending and covering the convention. Since some announcements have gone by before we dove in, I’m going to direct our readership to THIS LINK in each and every chapter so they don’t miss a single post. I programmed the stuff from the first day which will run in a daily serialized format until I am out of days and images. Let’s go…

Exploring New York Comic Con 2018: Day One (Part 3)

Well hello again my Convention Adventuring Fellow Geeks, I’m back with another chapter of my comprehensive exploration of the 2018 New York Comic Con. You’ve arrived at Chapter 3 of the Day One findings and if you’re just joining us on the website you’re going to want to click HERE to open a new tab with all of the posts that have gone live on the website so far. Generally speaking its better to start at the beginning with these since I often refer back to other points as I explore. I’ll start this chapter with some finds in The Block such as this table of UNICEF comics. They were free to the public while supplies lasted and I made sure to take some for the younger relatives in my circle.

Exploring NY Comic Con 2017: Day One (Part 1)

Well would you look at this, its once again time for the NY Comic Con, and it has taken over the hearts and minds of all the city’s Geek Community and rightly so. This massive event not only dominates the Javits Center nowadays but also holds numerous panels at both the Hammerstein Ballroom and The Theatre at Madison Square Garden if those sorts of things interest you. I’m proud to share that 2017’s event marks my eighth straight year in attendance and my seventh as a member of the accredited press. I’m going to start with the photos in the area that is usually taken over by the folks at DC Entertainment. In the past they’ve showcased a number of Superman costumes and stuff from “Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice”. This year they were displaying the costumes on life size mannequins from the upcoming “Justice League” film. Let’s take a look. I am pretty sure that you know who these characters are.
