New York Comic Con Panels/Screenings Recap

It’s Comic Con time again! This year was rough, as I really had to fight for tickets amidst the madness. For those of you who don’t know, three- and four-day passes sold out online within two hours, and when retailers started selling the remaining passes months later, people were camping out several hours—even days—in advance, and the ruckus was astounding. So needless to say, once New York Comic Con 2014 (NYCC) started up on Thursday, people had already been lining up outside the Jacob Javits Convention Center hours before the doors even opened. So here’s my recap of those four days of craziness and nerdiness:

NYCC Day One: Thursday Unfortunately, I had work, so I couldn’t get out to the Con as early as I’d like. I wasn’t too worried because in previous years, Thursday had always been the slow day. This year, NYCC was full of changes, so it should have come as no surprise to me that Thursday actually had a number of great panels, including an Alex Kingston and Arthur Darvill Spotlight for “Doctor Who” nerds, a big Disney sneak preview of two of its upcoming films, a “Game of Thrones” panel and a “Legend of Korra: Book Four” panel. Still, after I got myself over to Javits and finally nabbed a program (believe me, this is always an issue), I got to see some of the later Thursday panels. 6:45 p.m.: Adam West & Batman: The Complete Television Series (Main Stage 1-D) I saw Adam West at NYCC 2012, on a classic Batman tribute panel with Burt Ward. I don’t think I’ve ever laugh…
