This is the second post of observations from Day Two so if you missed anything just click HERE first to load up every single post that relates to NYCC 2025.

Oh yes my friends, its time to get excited because you have arrived at the very first official post of the photo editorial takeover and event overview that PiercingMetal is serving up from the famed New York Comic Con which began this past Thursday. As you read this I am heading there for the fourth and final day but the coverage you’ll see is starting from the very top. The 2023 convention marks my 13th straight year of attendance in an official capacity as media and as expected there is a ton of awesome to share with you from this kind of event. The plan remains a constant with lots of photography and I’ll also be looking into some Artist Alley interviews if the talent is interested in doing them with me. Now before I get started let’s showcase the spiffy Press Badge for 2023. I loved that it has a black cat with a camera based on what I do and since I love black cats. To see all of the New York Comic Con 2023 posts in a new window just click HERE since this stuff is always best enjoyed from the very beginning.

I wasn’t even inside the Javits Center when I decided to get my very first cosplayer photo which was this young fan in his Blue Beetle best. Did you see this film? Did you like it? On we go.
