Two weeks ago Special Edition: New York Comic Con, was held at the Jacob K. Javits Center. I try to attend New York Comic Con in October every year. So when I found out about this all Comic Book related event, I knew that this was not to be missed. Having bought my tickets way in advance, I was ready.
Saturday, June 14th at 7:47am I arrived at the Javits Center,Surprisingly Many people had just walked right in the door. The long waiting line was nonexistent. I didn't even see any Cosplayers there, until a little girl dressed as Sailor Mars came in with her dad. Later, 30 or 40 people started gather to into the roped off area. As the line grew, I started to see some of the Artist & Vendors stroll in. I was happy to see Mike Lilly(Nightwing),with his son & Writer Gail Simone. The line grew to 400, when I started to see more costumes.Some kids in Adventure Time costumes stood next to me.
This year Artist Alley was where most of the action took place. They let us in at 10am. The Race was on. I had found out that they were selling tickets to NYCC early,Everyone ran down the hall to the showroom floor. I wanted to see all I could to absorb everything .At the bigger NYCC, there is almost no time to take in all there is to see,because of the massive crowed of Convention goers. Just before getting to the entrance they had a D.J. playing. DC COMICS had set up some Batman standies at the entrance door. The first three songs the D.J. played were Superman : The Movie, Followed by The Batman theme, by Danny Elfmann, & the third The Star Wars Theme.
Some people I could see had VIP Tickets to get to the floor early. Walking around were so many little kids This was a very Family friendly Con. There was even a one legged dog.
