I went Saturday and am getting ready to head out shortly for today...highlight for me was getting into the Walking Dead Panel and scoring one of their rare autograph tickets for the panel afterward. I'll post a photo later. I will say it's INSANELY crowded and crazy there, but I couldn't not go knowing Eliza Dushku was going to be there.

Lucky...I tried to get to that panel but they closed the line really early.

I did manage to get autographs from Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant from Haven as well as Sam Ernst, he is one of the writers.

I'm putting up two photo galleries from New York Comic Con on the blog. The first one is up now:

New York Comic Con 2011 Photo Gallery #1

Also~ Congrats Jane!

I can only imagine how crowded it was on Saturday. It was very busy on Friday with some areas very difficult to get through.

Here's a summary of my four days at the New York Comic Con.

Non-sport cards
I picked up the SideKick Media promo described at http://www.nsu-magazine.com/fr...s-to-nycc-attendees/

258 West Authentic Signatures gave me a pack of 8 cards that they apparently made for the SDCC.


New-Gen Comics had two cards - Thea/Gabriel and The Twins/Carmen.


During The Seekers panel, game "cards" were handed out. There were 10 different ones. One had an image of Stan Lee and I think there was only one. The other nine had different symbols on it - I got two of them. They're not really cards. I don't thing they have any collecting value to them. But it's interesting to me as a memento of my attending the panel.

What makes it even scarier is it was picked by unanimous decision!

I agree. Great report. Though I could do without the close-up of the hot dog. Otherwise, though, thank you for posting this.
