Who's Up For A Roadtrip?
We're well into the 2008 convention season and the big shows are coming up soon. ComiCon in San Diego is still the biggest show in the U.S., but it has some competition in the upstart New York ComicCon.
Having already outgrown the largest convention hall in Manhattan (the Javitz Center on the Lower West Side), the show continues to get bigger every year. While the Javitz Center is the largest arena in the city, the NYCC is still expanding to multiple floors and theaters throughout the venue.
Guests this year include heavy hitters like Joe Kubert, John Romita Sr. and Stan Lee, who will be receiving the first annual Legend Award. Panels range from Women in Comics to The State of Manga and back around to The Future of the Graphic Novel.
Will anyone else be in attendance this year? This high flying Goblin will jump the mighty Hudson River to the big, scary city for all three days. (Although, in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll be leaving early on Saturday because I inadvertently bought tickets to Rufus Wainwright for the 19th.)
Check out the New York ComiCon April 18th - 20th.
You can buy tickets for the whizzbang party right here.
