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

October 21, 2024 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

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 2023: Day One (Part 1)

October 15, 2023 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

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.

Scenes From New York Comic Con 2019: Day Three (Part One)

October 16, 2019 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Hey there my fine readers, I am back as promised with more visualizations and notations from the 2019 New York Comic Con. I took a break from posting the main convention for a couple of days to share some side adventuring but now its back to the task at hand. We are on Day Three and this is the first installment. Historically speaking, the Saturday session of NYCC is the most hectic busy. If you missed any of the posts that have run just click HERE first. So I had just left that Harley Quinn gallery and as I headed back to the Javits, I dropped in to the Anime Fest that they had been doing as well.

Exploring New York Comic Con 2017: Day Three (Part 1)

October 15, 2017 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Okay so here we are again and before this installment gets underway let me thank you for sticking with this group of narratives for so many parts already. To me as a photographer and journalist, the NY Comic Con is one of the most daunting of events to cover because its not only massive in scope but its also taking over other locations as well. Sure we have the Press Badge as our credentials but that doesn’t let you jump lines to cover panels and appearances, you have to arrive early as all heck to make sure you are inside those. As result, I stick to the Javits Center generally and explore as much as possible as you have seen in the past posts. Day Three is the Saturday session and the most attended historically speaking. Part 1 of this days overview will begin in a moment and find me exploring Artist Alley and some other regions. If you missed anything that came before this post, click on THIS LINK to open a battery of content to peruse. Shall we?
