New York Comic Con 2013





New York Comic Con is the East Coast's biggest and most exciting popular culture convention. The Show Floor plays host to the latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies and television. The panel and autograph sessions give fans a chance to interact with their favorite creators (e.g. Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-man, Adam Hughes (Wonder Woman), Ivan Reis (Justice League), etc.). New York Comic Con is the second largest pop culture convention in America and the only one that takes place in the comic book, publishing, media and licensing capital of the world — Gotham City.



New York Comic-Con looks set to have its biggest year yet, with a slate heavy on popular TV shows and celebrity appearances. Based in Manhattan’s Javits Center, NYCC has grown in importance over the last few years. Although it can’t compete with the San Diego Comic-Con for pure breadth of buzz, NYCC has developed its own distinctive personality in the last few years. 

DC Comics is highly visible this year. A large screen near the long lines of attendees waiting to enter the exhibit hall advertised the upcoming "Batman: Arkham Origins" video game to the captive audience. It comes out on October 25th.  Inside is an impressive exhibit of Superman movie and TV costumes. The exhibit celebrates 75 years of history of the DC Comic's flagship character.

Check out some best-dressed at the event!

They really go all out to dress up eh? Maybe we should do the same for STGCC 2014!
