The New York Comic Con for 2024 has officially taken over the Javits Center and believe me when I say that the place is packed to the brim with all sorts of geeky coolness. Last night I burned the midnight oil to cobble together some of the sights and scenes and now its time to start premiering our findings. Before continuing along, if you want to read all of the NYCC 2024 stuff just click the hyperlinked text to launch a new browser tab. Presented down below is my usual presentation of the NYCC Press Badge. I spruce this up a little of course and was surprised to find an Anime show being the focus. This is my 14th straight year attending in the media capacity.

For me, the New York Comic Con coverage begins the moment I snap my first photo of the day and while exiting the “7” train I ran into a Spider-Man 2099 cosplayer. This young man was attending his second ever NYCC. By the way I will likely be typing “NYCC” for the duration of these narratives over “New York Comic Con” to save myself some typing punishment.

Welcome back my friends, it’s good to have you here with me as I continue to share my findings from the annual New York Comic Con for 2023. The event actually ended yesterday and now its time to share each and every photograph that was done over the four day affair. The mission plan is steady as she goes and I will pick up from where I left off as we are still on the Day One visuals. Before you dive deeper into Chapter Two, I encourage you to follow the traffic director notice that closes this intro. My first images in this installment are the wonderful folks from Pentacomix. They came all the way from Korea to share the news about their company. To see ALL of the New York Comic Con 2023 posts in a new window just click HERE.

Image & Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Team-Up For Anti-Censorship Variants In September

The Press Release:
This September, Image Comics fights censorship with a powerful line of variant covers to benefit Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF), the industry’s voice for free speech advocacy and education. All proceeds from this dynamic campaign will support CBLDF’s important legal work on behalf of comics creators, retailers, educators and readers.

All proceeds from this campaign will benefit CBLDF, with each title featuring two versions of the CBLDF Charity variant—one censored and one uncensored. Image Comics is pleased to reveal the censored versions here. Spearheaded by HACK/SLASH creator Tim Seeley and Image Comics’ Publisher Eric Stephenson, this benefit includes contributions from Skottie Young, Mirka Andolfo, Howard Chaykin, Justin Greenwood, Geoffo, Ryan Browne, Wook-Jin Clarke, David Rubín, Martin Morazzo, Mark Torres, Danny Luckert, and Seeley himself.

“Comics have been uniquely affected by censorship since the very beginning,” said Seeley. “I wanted to do something with my fellow Image creators to call attention to the problem, and to raise money for CBLDF to help their efforts to fight back. They own the Comics Code Seal of Approval, the censorship stamp that used to govern almost all comics until that organization died in 2011. We thought we’d bring back the Code for one month, to show how ham-fisted those censorship attempts were while having some fun making money for the CBLDF’s important work.”

Exploring NY Comic Con 2017: Day Three (Part 1)

Okay so here we are again and before this installment gets underway let me thank you for sticking with this group of narratives for so many parts already. To me as a photographer and journalist, the NY Comic Con is one of the most daunting of events to cover because its not only massive in scope but its also taking over other locations as well. Sure we have the Press Badge as our credentials but that doesn’t let you jump lines to cover panels and appearances, you have to arrive early as all heck to make sure you are inside those. As result, I stick to the Javits Center generally and explore as much as possible as you have seen in the past posts. Day Three is the Saturday session and the most attended historically speaking. Part 1 of this days overview will begin in a moment and find me exploring Artist Alley and some other regions. If you missed anything that came before this post, click on THIS LINK to open a battery of content to peruse. Shall we?
