Back in October, PiercingMetal was in attendance at the 2023 edition of the famed New York Comic Con which took over the Javits Center for four days. During the course of our media coverage of the event, a series of artist interviews were done by site founder Ken Pierce. While all of these videos are resident on the Official PiercingMetal YouTube Channel, several have been collected into this post to expand the coverage that gets featured on the website. This is the fifth in a series of installments that will run until all the videos from NYCC 2023 have all been featured.

Scenes From New York Comic Con 2023: Day Three (Part 1)

Hello again my fine-feathered geeks and welcome back to yet another post from the comprehensive coverage of the 2023 New York Comic Con. You’ve safely arrived at the first installment from the Day Three part of the adventure and that means its the Saturday of the event. Historically speaking, this is one of the most crowded days of the whole affair but that never manages to slow me down. As I’ve mentioned in each of the preceding first chapters of the days, this is my 13th straight year of attendance in an official capacity as media and while its exhausting to do this much running around I still love it. Now I should mention that I am not running around in a cosplay of any kind and instead am sporting a different Metal or comic book shirt across the days. Today I’m sporting a cool “Star Wars” comic book cover shirt that I got from Walmart when I visited the folks over the summer. I wore a KISS shirt yesterday since as many know who read my posts they are my absolute favorite. So before I begin, let me first remind you to make sure that you click HERE to open up all of the previous posts in a brand-new window. With this kind of event, I feel its better to start from the beginning. When I walked in today I was greeted by Darth Vader and a couple of troopers who were doing some outreach for the 501st Legion. I’d look into this but I sadly feel I’m a little short for a Stormtrooper. IYKYK 😉

Just loved these two Spider-verse cosplays of Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Punk. Very well done gentlemen.

This weekend was the sophomore go-round for the Special Edition NYC Convention which some readers of the site and those who attended last will recall as being held at the Javits Center where we find the massive NY Comic Con taking place. This year would be different and the event would set up shop down on Pier 94 way down on the West Side. This event space is quite a hike and I only mention that for any Cosplayers heading to it sporting massive bulk to their costumes. Also the slightly in need of more exercise folks such as myself. I’ll be presenting about “50” images in each post as I’ve done in all of our Comic Con reports. Let’s get to exploring.

As you can see by the sign at the entrance, the Special Edition NYC proudly showcases their social networks and encourages Tweeting and Instagram stuff from their attendees. I’m definitely going to be doing this via my sites own accounts of @piercingmetal and @piercingmetalnyc so check those out and give us a follow if you are enjoying the offerings.
