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.

Greetings my friends and welcome back to another hopefully exciting installment in our comprehensive coverage of the recent New York Comic Con. I’m up to Day Two Part Three and while I planned on saying this at the close, this will be the final chapter for Day Two. 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.

As previously reported, the New York Comic Con for 2024 had recently taken over the massive Javits Center for its annual convention. While the event is now in the books, I am still serving up the observations on a daily basis until its all finished. You’ve arrived on Day Two Part Two of the proceedings and if you want to start from the beginning please click NYCC 2024 to launch a new browser tab with everything that’s come before this post. I’m continuing along from where I left off and that was in the River Pavilion. It’s called this because a large part of it faces the Hudson River and its quite nice if its a nice clear day that is.

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.
