New York Comic Con 2017

New York Comic Con came around once again. This time, however, the massive event was squeezed into less space because Jacob Javits Center is being renovated. The area for the cartoonist alley was leveled to create a larger facility for future events. Every year some company gives away THE BIG BAG that everyone wants to use to carry their Con swag. This year it was the SyFy channel. Yes, the new logo is pretty ugly, but the large reinforced stitched bag was very useful. And it came in 4 different colors. Pink seemed to be the most popular.

I was most impressed by the new SyFy show “Happy”, originally a comic book created by Grant Morrison. Having read the insane story about a degenerate drug addicted hit man and his imaginary friend, I was surprised they were able to make it on the air. Mr Morrison was too. It stars Christopher Meloni, formerly of Law and Order SVU. After seeing the first episode, they are definitely on the right twisted track.

It has long since become impossible to sample close to every offering from this event. A co-worker of mine spent most of his time taking pics of Cosplayers outside. I roamed around, took some photos, and caught a few panels. It was like living in a bizaare air conditioned world for a few days. Here is the link to my photos.
