Hey friends, I am back with the third and final installment from the New York Comic Con Day Three observations and I am excited to find you here as well. We are now quite deep into our coverage and if you’ve just joined us on the website, you’re going to want to click NYCC 2024 first so you can see everything that’s been posted from the start. It’s more fun like that trust me. So continuing along I found myself in the independent publishers section and at Mount Olympus Comics where I met Patriotika. We spoke for a few minutes and she showed off all of their wares.
