Hey friends, I am back with the third and final installment from the New York Comic Con Day Three observations and I am excited to find you here as well. We are now quite deep into our coverage and if you’ve just joined us on the website, you’re going to want to click NYCC 2024 first so you can see everything that’s been posted from the start. It’s more fun like that trust me. So continuing along I found myself in the independent publishers section and at Mount Olympus Comics where I met Patriotika. We spoke for a few minutes and she showed off all of their wares.

For the last four days the New York Comic Con took over the Javits Center for its 2024 happening and while it all wrapped up yesterday, I will be continuing along to share my findings from the convention for your entertainment. I’m now on Day Two but if you’re just only joining me here on the website I’ll ask you to click NYCC 2024 as that will launch a new browser tab that features every post that has already been published. I tend to follow a flowing narration so its easier for you, trust me. First up was a visual I saw when I looked down at the crosswalk. It was a promotion for the soon to be airing series “Creature Commandos”. I mentioned in the Day One observances that there is a photo op inside the convention.

Once inside through the detectors I decided to spend a few minutes in the general lobby area. I don’t always know the cosplays but am always happy to include smiling convention faces into the mix.

Scenes From New York Comic Con 2024: Day One Part One

The New York Comic Con for 2024 has officially taken over the Javits Center and believe me when I say that the place is packed to the brim with all sorts of geeky coolness. Last night I burned the midnight oil to cobble together some of the sights and scenes and now its time to start premiering our findings. Before continuing along, if you want to read all of the NYCC 2024 stuff just click the hyperlinked text to launch a new browser tab. Presented down below is my usual presentation of the NYCC Press Badge. I spruce this up a little of course and was surprised to find an Anime show being the focus. This is my 14th straight year attending in the media capacity.

For me, the New York Comic Con coverage begins the moment I snap my first photo of the day and while exiting the “7” train I ran into a Spider-Man 2099 cosplayer. This young man was attending his second ever NYCC. By the way I will likely be typing “NYCC” for the duration of these narratives over “New York Comic Con” to save myself some typing punishment.

WinterCon Is On This Weekend @ Resorts World Casino

If you’re brand-new to our web-based publication then let me tell you just how much I love hitting the comic book and science fiction conventions that take place in New York City. Not only has PiercingMetal been a regular media attendee for the massive New York Comic Con, Anime NYC and Toy Fair conventions for many years but we also lend the love to smaller scaled events like the Big Apple Comic Con, Five Points Festival and the Winter Con which is actually taking place this weekend and is the reason for this announcement. Let’s focus on a couple of points shall we.

So What’s WinterCon??? According to their own promotional efforts its “The LARGEST Sci-Fi convention in the NY area! Held annually at Resorts World NYC. Wintercon is a large expo that hosts celebrities, creators, fans and vendors from TV, movies, books, cosplay, comics, gaming, collectibles, anime and so much more!” Though I have not been in attendance for a few years I can confirm that its an entire floor of the casino so make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes.

Where Is It? The Convention will be held at the Resorts World Casino and the location is tagged in our listings so click HERE for the exact geography and how best to get there. I usually take the MTA as that leaves me within a couple of blocks.

Who Should I See? I know that I’ve said this before about this and pretty much every convention that I’ve written about and truth be told you should really try and see as many people as possible. Maximize your convention experience. Now last time around I shared two Instagram posts from 2021 adventures that feature both Barbie Chula and the always lovely Miss Cheng. Since I liked those particular visuals I am using them once again so I hope you don’t mind the repeat. These will also hopefully spark your attention to our Gram profile where thousands of images await you. Back to who should I see, I always love stopping by the table of Keith Williams and Larry Hama and don’t let me forget Nelson DeCastro. There are so many more but these are folks that I always manage to chat with when I run into them. Since I don’t know what vendors will be there I cannot guide you any further.

Will You Be In Attendance:As much as I hate to tell you this, it doesn’t look like I will be attending this one since I pitched my interest and didn’t hear back on it at all. Trust me that happens sometimes and with this particular event there is no lengthy media submission forms to fill out and you instead end up using a central email address. After working in IT for a number of years I can tell you that such things get overrun with every single inquiry possible and finding the most important ones becomes a chore. I do hope many of you in the readership audience manage to get there and have a good time. Be sure to chime in down below in the comments section to let me know how it was since I cannot join you.

Oh yes my friends, its time to get excited because you have arrived at the very first official post of the photo editorial takeover and event overview that PiercingMetal is serving up from the famed New York Comic Con which began this past Thursday. As you read this I am heading there for the fourth and final day but the coverage you’ll see is starting from the very top. The 2023 convention marks my 13th straight year of attendance in an official capacity as media and as expected there is a ton of awesome to share with you from this kind of event. The plan remains a constant with lots of photography and I’ll also be looking into some Artist Alley interviews if the talent is interested in doing them with me. Now before I get started let’s showcase the spiffy Press Badge for 2023. I loved that it has a black cat with a camera based on what I do and since I love black cats. To see all of the New York Comic Con 2023 posts in a new window just click HERE since this stuff is always best enjoyed from the very beginning.

I wasn’t even inside the Javits Center when I decided to get my very first cosplayer photo which was this young fan in his Blue Beetle best. Did you see this film? Did you like it? On we go.
