Do you feel that comic cons like SDCC and NYCC are more like HUGE pop culture events, where a mixture of thousands of fans are all there for different reasons? Do you feel overwhelmed being a comic book fan being among a sea of video games, books, toys, movies, TV shows, and more?! Well ReedPOP has the solution for you!
ReedPOP announced yesterday that there will be a new convention hitting the Javits Center this June, Special Edition: NYC, which promises to be more of a comic book centric show!

This actually sounds pretty amazing. Artist Alley is one of my favorite aspects of NYCC, as I look forward to going back there every year to find a new print to buy, sorry PRINTS. All joking aside, this is a really unique idea and I really like that ReedPOP is listening to the comic fans on this one.
Guests include some of the top talent in the industry and you can check out the growing list here. Special Edition: NYC will run the weekend of June 14th and 15th! Head on over to the official site for more information. Hope to see you there!
