Yeah. The Javits center has never looked that good.
Well folks, New York Comic Con is only 34 days away—(I MUST PACK!)—so of course news is going to start trickling in as the next five weeks go by.
Yes, I am keeping my eyes peeled for exclusive announcements.
Anyways, Reed Pop—the organizing company behind NYCC and several other comic conventions—has released their initial Panels and Screenings schedule for NYCC 2015/ Why only initial? They're not done posting it yet. Meaning there is a possibility of this expanding.
