Hey Friends, I am back with the second installment from the recent Big Apple Comic Con that was held only a few days ago at the New Yorker Hotel. As I’ve already mentioned, the convention now seems to be a one-day affair and has locked in the late fall and winter season as a “Christmas Con” of sorts. Let’s continue along with the awesome artist John Holmstrom from Punk Magazine and much more.

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.

Now you already know that I was hitting the annual Book Expo and based on my findings have relegated most of my photos and notations over on “The Chronicles” of Piercing Ken since it made more sense. However, this little narrative is being done to celebrate the great presence that our friends at Image Comics did this year in terms of all the great artist and writer signings and the cool freebies (the full rundown of appearances were cited HERE in case you missed it). Let’s start off by gleaning this awesome tote that bears their logo and the cool phrase “I Believe In Comics”. We believe in them here at the Media Command HQ as well.
First up is artist Kickily who was signing copies of “Perdy” which is a Western themed title. Kickily was also doodling for the people who were taking a copy of the book and I captured him doing this on mine for our Instagram. I will embed that in a little later.
Good morning readers and welcome back to the visuals from this years Special Edition NYC convention.

If you do that the whole adventure will be much easier to enjoy so by all means please do and then follow along with the next. I’m going to start with this anime Cosplayer but I admit I am terrible at Anime so do not know the character.
