Most of the people in the area were aware, but for those around the world, this weekend marked the fifth annual New York Comic Convention in the Jacob Javits Convention Center in the heart of New York City. It may not have been as warm as San Diego, but that didn’t stop folks from all over the world flying in to show off their inner (or outer) geek.
Part of the charm of any convention is seeing things that most people would consider strange in the “outside world” but in truth, we all know just how awesome they are. This year’s New York Comic Con was no exception.
Some of the highlights of this year’s Con include a full Deadpool Corps as well as a mismatched teamup of two Deadpools taking out a poor Star Trek red shirt. Take a peek at Ramona from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World who is prettier than the girl from the film. Don’t forget to check out the two happy couples dressed as Hal Jordan and Carol Danvers as well as the Green Arrow and Black Canary.
Be sure to keep it here all week for our full coverage of the events, screenings, and interviews from this year’s show, and in the meantime check out our full gallery of photos from the show after the jump!
The Definition of “Geek Chic.” Comic books, sci-fi movies, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Lord of the Rings and more all rolled up in a Diesel wearing, club going socialite package. Having worked in both advertising and television, John is a lifetime writer always being a part of the creative process. John knows the television world between his experience on being involved with the production process of over two hundred episodes of prime time tv and being a self admitted media whore.
Yes he has a weakness for trash tv, Michael Bay-esque action movies and the raunchy teen comedy as well. Never try to debate the Original Star Wars Trilogy versus Star Trek with him because the Holy Trilogy always comes out on top. Having partied with movie stars to Playboy centerfolds, John is somehow always able to find someone’s inner geek.
The simplest rules that John lives by is to have fun and doing what makes him happy. There’s no shame in being a geek. Play Halo, read Spider-Man and proudly display the whole series of Neon Genesis: Evangelion on your DVD rack. And most importantly, make sure to read his weekly comic book pull list reviews at The Flickcast.
