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.

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.

If you’ve only just joined us, please be sure to click NYCC 2024 because I tend to flow in my narratives and each preceding one leads to the current one. Now where were we, oh yeah some cool trinkets that we saw at the Pop Insider booth. We know those folks from their Toy Insider happenings and if you click that hyperlinked text you will be able to see the coverages that have been done for their events.
As you know I don’t continually chime in or sometimes I just abbreviate but this here cosplay of Carter Slade, Ghost Rider was a lot of fun. When I was younger, I loved the Western version of Ghost Rider who had been renamed Night Rider. There was just something cool about him but I digress.
