Scenes from Big Apple Comic Con 2024: Part One

big apple comic con logo, big apple comic con, convention logos

The Big Apple Comic Con is the longest running pop culture convention in New York City. While smaller in scale than the mega-event known as New York Comic Con, the Big Apple event truly focuses on the comic book medium and many creative legends. It’s been held at the New Yorker Hotel for several years now and I’ve attended as media on a semi-regular basis. Sometimes that workaday life gets in the way of the fun but here I was and ready to explore the findings.

The show seems to have settled on the Fall season and has become a one-day only event. I preferred a two-day event but hey I’m not in the marketing and finance team about the plans so I will take what they dish out. As expected, this walkaround will be mostly photos with some editorial commentary peppered in and my hope is to do a number of artist interviews as well. I always love doing them and they help broaden the Pop Culture stuff that we have been doing on the site for quite some time now.

Well my friends, we have arrived at the final show overview coverage of the 2022 New York Comic Con with Day Four Part Two.

Starting us off is Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch.

Exploring WinterCon 2018 @ Resorts World Casino: Chapter 1

Greetings my fellow Geeks, it’s time once again to offer up the findings at the recently held WinterCon which took over one of the expo floors at the massive Resorts World Casino in Queens. This year marks my third straight year of attending as a member of the accredited press and amounts to my final convention being covered for this side of my creative fence. Let’s start exploring the visuals and see if we chance upon any old friends.

These fun-loving cosplayers were my first “fans” of the day and so they are thusly honored. For the convention I’d be once again using my trusty “convention camera” which is my handy dandy Samsung and my mobile phone, the Galaxy Note 8 since I want to load a lot of slightly different visuals up to our Instagram. I’ll have that linked in my closing so don’t worry about it right now.

Exploring New York Comic Con 2018: Day Four (Part 2)

By now you’ve probably surmised that the end of these installments is drawing near and you are correct in the assumption. Of our Day Four posts, this is the second to last one so if you’re just now joining us at the penultimate chapter of my 2018 New York Comic Con posts, I’d ask that you click HERE first to see all of the chapters that have come before this latest one. I’m in the Artist Alley a bit during this chapter so a lot of talented people to take note of and thank for their contributions to the comics medium.  Most of them have their names in the photo as well to eliminate unnecessary discussion.  I’ll try to find their websites, Facebook or Twitter Official accounts once all is said and done.  Let’s do this.
