At the time that you are reading this, I am already on my way to the currently in progress New York Comic Con which began its annual takeover of the Javits Center this past Thursday. The 2025 edition of the famed convention marks my fifteenth annual attendance in a professional capacity and with my being a close to lifetime fan of comic books, toys related to said franchises and Science Fiction and Horror films I knew that 2025 was going to be a bountiful affair. Now speaking of takeovers, this post is being cobbled together to let you know that our Official PiercingMetal Instagram is going to be rife with visuals and videos from the New York Comic Con. I know that I’ve usually done these in the past but this time around I am starting with this part of the content creation to start your day off properly. According to my mobile device, the calculated steps I’ve taken over the previous two days are just shy of 20K which amounts to being just short of 10 miles. Saturday was going to be chaotic busy at the convention and I’m off to a Metal show post so I’d rather you all be tooling around on The Gram nice and early and being more in the mix with me as its all happening. My plan of action is to snap as much as possible for the social media platforms and the eventual website day by day features. For those who want to be able to bookmark the website stuff to come and the announcements that have already gone live just click HERE as that will feature every single post on the WordPress from this years edition of New York Comic Con. Down below you’ll find one of the first posts that I placed on the Instagram related to the convention and some of the posts will have multiple images since that is occasionally the wisest course of action to take.

Since you are reading these words you cannot actually tell that I am yelling them so let me ask you straight up “New York City Are You Ready To Get Your Geek On!!! Yes my dear readers, the moment has once again arrived and in a few short hours the New York Comic Con for 2025 will takeover the Javits Center and play host to a couple of hundred thousand like-minded friends in fandom. For the last few weeks I’ve been sharing the company announcements and new release reveals but now the day itself is here and I myself am excited to be attending for my 15th straight year in a professional capacity. It’s an honor for me to be attending this convention for as long as I have and this has been a special creative year overall with the PiercingMetal site reaching 20 years and my Piercing Ken site its own 15th. There are over 100 posts and thousands and thousands of photos from NYCC adventures since 2010 and now its time to add more to the pile. Since the early years I’ve launched into doing numerous video interviews and also bombarding some of my social media angles with visuals you’ll find at the convention all while also summarizing the happenings in day to day website posts on top of the industry alerts that we receive both pre and post convention. The New York Comic Con Press Badge is a thing to be honored and respected for having been given it so I like to deliver more content than can easily be quantified to make the organizers happy and to entertain you for as long as possible. For this year I didn’t redo my bag packing video as I had originally planned but there is a short clip on The Gram, The Tok and The Tube with what I am bringing along for the start. Now before you stress about my having done three videos please know that they are all the same clip and have been repurposed specifically for each network. The more that one does this kind of thing the more tricks that one learns to do a bigger and better job.
