Have you ever been to a Comic Con?


I went to the NY Comic Con every year from 2006 (first year) to 2011, and I went last year.

I have also gone to the Big Apple Comic Con in Manhattan several times from 2009 to 2014.

I love that people film entire panels and post them on Youtube, so you can see panels from San Diego Comic Con and others throughout the country.

Yup, go to SDCC every year, and I only missed one NYCC (2012 I believe).

NYCC this past year truly was crazy, it's gotten way way too crowded for the Javitz Center. The line to use the bathroom alone was horrifying. Also, some people told me who already had their badges that to scan in for the day took them two hours!! Just get in, a mess.

Which days did you go? I went with my brother and his friend on Sunday afternoon so it wasn't too bad in terms of crowds.

Every day bruh.

Sunday is always the lightest day tho cause it ends earlier and most people who go hunting for exclusives and stuff have already done so.

Yeah, and all the good guests have left by that point. I wanted to get a weekend badge but they were all gone by the time we were making the purchase online. You have to be so quick. The other years I went, I went both Saturday and Sunday.

For sure.

If you live in the tristate area, I believe Midtown Comics also sells badges for NYCC a month or so before the show. It's another way to get a weekend pass if you miss out online.

I used to go to Jim Hanley's Universe and buy them at first (have you been there?), and then when it was moving locations I started going to Midtown Comics (45th and Lex) instead to buy them. When I went last year though, they either were sold out immediately or said they weren't selling them.

Went to 2013 NYCC. T'was packed, but still great. I was front row for the GTA V panel and got a signed shirt from Ned Luke/Michael.

I can't even imagine what it's like now though it it was considered crowded back then
