Another year another New York Comic Con.  But more of it they added a fourth day to the festivities.  With the Javits construction winding down they got more space which didn’t translate into more free space.  Even more people atteneded this year.  They improved crowd control greatly this time for the incoming fans.  And as hard as we tried.  Panels were very hard to cover, press was pushed aside as they had to wait in regular lines with the fans.  So  we didn’t have any time to wait for panels.
The only thing we could wait for was the nighttime masquarade.  And we waited two hours in line and was able to fight our way to the front only to find that they never cleaned the room out for people who were at the Avenger’s panel  previous to us.  But regardless we got the photos of the masquarade.

As for as the New York Anime Festival is concerned.  Its got its own little section for the good or bad.  The good is they still are making space for NYAF.  The bad is they don’t get any of the “Comic Con” traffic.  So nobody was exposed to the artist alley except for Anime fans.  The NYCC Artist alley was excellent this year in where they placed it.    Other things we loved is they made a whole kids section in the Javits North expansion.  They had autograph signings in the back.  So in all NYCC was great.  We hope to cover NYCC better next year also.  The whole rule changes threw us off so we weren’t able to get anything really interesting other than photos.

And speaking of photos below is the link to NYCC 2011 photos.
