New York Comic Con returned from October 17th to 20th, but was it really that good this year? Join me as I walk around the convention, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere filled with enthusiastic fans and stunning cosplay, while sharing my thoughts on the experience. From the buzz of engaging panels to the noticeable absence of many major comic publishers—aside from Marvel—I reflect on how the focus has shifted towards media promotions and what that means for the future of the con. Watch as I explore the highs and lows of this year’s event and ponder whether it still captures the magic that once defined New York Comic Con.
