New York Comic Con (NYCC) returned for another action-packed season of cosplaying adventure, celebrity guests, and cutting-edge artwork at the Jacob Javits Convention Center from October 12th to October 15th.
Attendees dressed as the villainous misfit Harley Quinn rode the subway cars with a maniacal grin, while others donned their Super Saiyan Goku’s golden blonde air with a bright orange Turtle School uniform ready to blast through the convention doors.
For four days, over 210,000 guests visited the entertainment mecca to watch panels, get their exclusive NYCC merchandise, and pose for photo opportunities with the Rocky Horror Picture Show stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Guardians of the Galaxy cast including Pom Klementieff, Will Poulter, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillian and Sean Gunn.
Artist alley was jam-packed with a variety of creators whose work featured DC heroes Batman, Superman, the Flash as well as their villainous counterparts the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, Poison Ivy and more. There were also an array of video games to try from a Nintendo version of Rugrats to Jujitsu Kaisen fighting competitions.
The best part this year was the sheer number of vendors and exhibitors on the show floor. From Dragon Ball Z and Godzilla figure exhibits to custom jewelry from Tokyo, there was something for everyone at NYCC.
