New York Comic Con 2024 Takes Over The PiercingMetal Instagram

The time has come and well, actually also gone but with that being said, the PiercingMetal High Command was recently in attendance for all four days of the 2024 edition of the famed New York Comic Con. This year marked my fourteenth annual attendance in a professional capacity and as a diehard comic book and assorted geek culture things fan I knew that I would be put to task. I tend to cover the event solo and that means there was going to be a lot of exploring in the Javits Center. The space has been expanded over the recent years which means even more halls and aisles to get ourselves to. The purpose of this post is to make our readers aware that the Official Instagram for the website would once again be overtaken by the New York Comic Con in terms of the regular feed posts and the Reels. The full editorial narratives are being compiled as you read this with some of them already online along with any post convention announcements and alerts from the myriad of comic book industry companies that were in attendance. Not only will those posts be on PiercingMetal but they are also all resident on our self-proclaimed executive editorial branch of Ken Pierce Media. The plan and practices was the same as in previous attendances with content being shared on the site and also YouTube clips, these Instagram images and TikToks. The like-minded geeks can keep pace with the website editorial pieces by clicking HERE and the first of our Instagram images is linked below. Most of them will be exclusive to our Instagram with the occasional making an appearance in our four-day coverage of the convention.

Today: New York Comic Con 2024 Begins @ Javits Center

The moment has arrived once again my friends, yes the New York Comic Con is back and taking over the Halls of an even larger Javits Center once more and its going to be the place to be overwhelmed with all things geek and pop culture related for the next four days. I’ll be in attendance once again and I am super excited about it as its my 14th straight year of doing so in the professional capacity. The safety protocols have subsided for those who were curious and that’s fine by me and while getting a signal out of the event space is usually a hassle, the organizers of New York Comic Con just recently announced they will be offering a new and powerful WiFi signal to their patrons. This will surely need to be strong since last year there were more than 200K people in the venue. In 2022, I shared a lengthy “Convention Guide” to our YouTube but this time around I did a Short clip which you can perfuse by clicking HERE. The Short leads to that original longer video but that clip is a bit outdated at this point. I think this brief gets to the general point fast enough and as I pen these words I wonder what you bring along to events like New York Comic Con. Feel free to let me know in the comments. As you read this you should know that I am actually already heading to the convention in a hope of getting there when the doors open. As soon as I get through their very thorough security and bag check I have to get myself in gear and start exploring. What time do you generally like to get to an event like this? Sometimes earlier is not better since the line to get into the Javits can be incredibly long.
