2013 New York Comic Con - Saturday

And I present my second day at the 2013 New York Comic Con, which was a wee bit crowded to say the least. A quick tip that I learned from last year, which came in handy this year, is that if you're going to a panel and it seems as though it will be a popular one, you should line up an hour early, bring something to keep yourself occupied.

One other major tip I definitely have to recommend it to get yourself a lunch before going to the Javits Center and stock yourself with plenty of water and snacks before hand. I made the mistake of not packing a proper meal for Friday and ended up spending $10 on a small wrap, which I remedied on Saturday all by simply stopping at a Subway and grabbing a 6-inch sub and cookies all for $5, aka save your money for cool con deals and not spend oodles on sub par food.

But I digress, Saturday was splendid and here it is:

New York Comic Con 2012

I was back for my second year at the New York Comic Con, this time for two days, and I just can't wait until next year!

This year the con sold out of tickets weeks before the doors to the Javits Center opened and it was packed, no matter where you walked you either bumped into Batman, Bane or the admiring fan taking a photo of their favorite cosplayer. Usually something like this would just make me cranky, but not while at comic con, because although you're stuck in a people traffic jam you're stuck amongst fellow nerds who will have an impromtu discussion on the merits of The Walking Dead tv show versus the original comics (which I love!) or learn about new cons such a special My Little Pony con that is directed more towards men.

It's a unique experience where you get to meet new people who all share the same nerdy love that you have for comics, film and television alike. Next year though I plan on springing for a 4 day pass, with the New York Comic Con's growing popularity, nearly rivaling the famous San Diego Comic Con, it's going to be just that much harder to see everything you want to in only two days.

But for now, a highlight of photos from the two days I got to go:
