New York City is once again a mecca for comic fans as Comic Con returns Thursday through Sunday for the first time in-person since 2019.
Comic Con is back this year after being entirely virtual last year.

Before guests can enjoy the world of cosplay, comics and collectibles, proof of vaccination must be shown. Once inside the venue, masks must be worn at all times.

Fans interested in attending the event can look forward to cosplay from SpongeBob to villains Venom and Carnage to the brand-new zone where gamers can go head-to-head.

With the countless comics and the endless collectibles from funk to fashion, there's no place like Comic Con for fans.

"This is honestly my true family. I've missed all the people, smiling, the jokes," said T.C. Smith, an exhibitor at Comic Con.

Although less crowded than years past, whether interested in the latest anime, Marvel, or Star Trek exhibits, many guests say they didn't miss the bumper-to-bumper traffic they've come to expect, and the homecoming itself seemed to mean more now than ever.

"It's been nice since after a year of not being able to do anything and be with people, it's nice to come as a collective together and enjoy something that we like together," said Jaida Skye, Comic Con fan.

Comic Con runs through Sunday, with some panels and screenings held virtually for fans at home.

what to expect: No attractive women, wall to wall troons

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

I can smell those images.

How many cosplays are going to incorporate the face mask into it? You can already see two in the posted article.

A good number, a lot of cosplayers and costume makers really love a challenge so they'll work it in somehow. Can't fault some creativity at least.

But not a single Plague Doctor in those pics. I am disappointed.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

I expect it to be pozzed as fuck as it has been for a decade or more now.

Considering how many Plague Doctor costumes I've seen even before the coof you can expect a lot of cheeky ones. Whether or not some article runner will list them is another question entirely, they clearly don't respect the science of putting fragrant herbs and oils in the beak.

The American Comic book industry should have died ten years ago.

Anyone attending a con at this time deserves nothing but ridicule.

 

[Uranus Pink]

The American Comic book industry should have died ten years ago.

Nah it should have died at least twenty years ago.

 

[Walrus and Carpenter]

Nah it should have died at least twenty years ago.

It did, but it doesn't know it yet.

Comic books are a very small part of the "comic" conventions now. They are general nerdy pop culture consoomerist events.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

At least on the plus side, conventions are a thing again.

Even in leftist-run places like NYC.

 

[JoseRaulChupacabra]

No fat jedi asking me if I'm over 18 and single? No thanks.

 

[kcbbq]

It did, but it doesn't know it yet.

It knows, these are just the maggots and larva that couldn't exist until it did.
