October started off with a bang. That seems to happen to me quite often though…going for a long time with nothing going on only to have several big ticket items practically tripping over each other. In this case, it was some of NYC’s finest offerings (for me at least).
New York Comic Con 2015
This past weekend was NYCC 2015, and it did not disappoint. Having been to this convention a number of times, I already knew what to expect in terms of chaos, masses of people, and long wait times, and as such, was determined to avoid all of the above. For the most part, I succeeded, which is a rare thing for anyone who has been to NYCC or any larger comic/pop-culture convention in general. As I tell friends and newcomers to the event, the first rule to have a happy comic con, is to have absolutely no expectations. Don’t expect you will get into that panel with the star studded cast of so-and-so movie and XYZ TV show. Prepare to wait 4 hours in line for this person’s autograph only to have the line cap off right in front of you. And prepare for $5 water.
