Well hello again my friends and lovers of all things geek and welcome to the continuing coverage of the 2023 edition of the New York Comic Con. If you’re just now joining us for some reason, please know that you’ve landed on the second part of the Day Three features. I’ve been serving up the awesome for a number of days now and we still have quite a bit to go. Since I don’t want you to feel lost, I’m going to suggest that you click HERE to open up a new browser tab with all of the preceding posts. I think its better to start from the beginning with this kind of adventure but if you just want to go ahead you can do you. First up are the legendary Walt and Weezy Simonson and Warlock.
I also ran into the 501st Legion again and then a Terminator. Science Fiction cosplays are everywhere and I am not complaining at all.
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.
The news about the return of the “Fantastic Four” the the Marvel Universe of comic books is a very big deal and I’ve touched upon some of the announcements about this already that can be examiner HERE and HERE. While I recommend reading the other posts to be up to speed, if you don’t have the time please be aware that this new series comes care of Dan Slott and Sara Pichelli. Such a return is bound to find a wide assortment of “Artist Variants” coming to light and I will be sharing any that I am made aware of in this single post to make this an easy point of referral. I’ll start with the Official Cover and continue along until the transmissions end. Enjoy.
Once again I say “WELCOME GEEKS” and I say this with a smile and not an insult because I am one of you. As you know, I am finishing up the coverage of the 2017 NY Comic Con and we are on Day Four’s second installment. There isn’t much else I can add to that so let’s just make sure that you have seen the posts that came before (and if you didn’t please click on THIS LINK to open everything related to this event on a new page). I’m going to start off this chapter with a visual of the James Gunn Pop figure. I am a very casual collector of these and generally buy only the musician ones that I love (despite missing out on the KISS ones believe it or not). Apparently this was an exclusive to the convention figure and was going for a pretty penny almost immediately. Kudos to anyone who had gotten one and then turned a nice profit.
