PW Comics World joined the other 105,000 fans that swarmed through the Javits Center October 13-16 to attend this year's New York Comic Con. We brought back lots of photographs of the action, "the talent," the craziness and all the fun.

I can believe it. Last year I bought a ticket at the door (I don't remember if it was Saturday or Sunday.)

This year was sold out in advance.

Reid Exhibitions puts on a good show so this is no wonder. Their Chicago show is building steam as well.

The difference between this and San Diego is that it is way too expensive to spend any length of time on overnights in New York City thus limiting a fan presence from other than the northeast at the show.

“Mike and Cheese” is the best comic ever, IMO. I really wish that I’d gone.
