NYCC came. NYCC saw. NYCC conquered me. After a harrowing weekend covering ‘The Following’, ‘Haven,’ ‘Person of Interest,’ ‘Robot Chicken,’ ‘Venture Brothers’ and ‘Voltron Force,’ I’m glad I’m home. But, I’d be remiss if I didn’t give an NYCC overview and cosplay photos.
The Food
Although this year featured more food options (like $10 sushi) and cheaper food options (like $3 pizza), the lines for the latter were insane, so I’m still glad I packed a pic-i-nic basket. Overall, I felt this year went well for me. I didn’t run out of camera space, flip cam space, batteries, or voice recorder space, even though I packed two backup battery sets and three back up memory cards. Also, I left the coat at home and placed the necessary items into one bag, to make walking the halls easier (but not in that way!).
The Transportation
If you bus it (or even train it), plan ahead. The bus is cheaper, but slightly unstable. My Sunday morning Megabus didn’t arrive on time, forcing me to buy a ticket from their competitor who DID arrive on time, had ample leg space and WORKING wi-fi. While I’ll probably use their competitor again, if you take the bus, keep in mind traffic and purchase a ticket 1-2 hours before you need to arrive in case your bus is late.
Overall, I enjoyed my time at New York Comic Con. For those who attended, what did you think of this year and the lines? Do you think it needed more restructuring? Did you enjoy all of the panels they had? I for one did, and look forward to next year’s explosion!

Don’t feel too bad about the Venture Bros. flub – their season 4 finale was way back in November of 2010 and they’ve always had a good year, year and a half in between seasons so it’s easy to get confused about the show’s condition. And actually, they’re only doing a Halloween episode this month with new regular episodes coming at question mark.
Don’t worry, Katie, it wasn’t actually a flub. And, it was more a good natured ribbing. As I described how much I “loved” the show, they both noted I used the past tense and wondered why.
I know about the October return (as listed above), but I’ll talk more about that when I post it! 
James Purefoy, scary? Ah, you mean scarily handsome and charismatic.
Just wait until you see The Following … very scary.
But yeah, nice guy. Track down the video our SDCC coverage; he handled a crazy lady interviewer quite well, IMHO.
While I hate to agree with Ivey, he’s correct. James is 198.99999999% terrifying in The Following. And, he basically channeled that in the interview through his uber-charm and fantastic looks
But, now I have to check out that SDCC post
