New York Comic Con (NYCC) took place this past weekend (Thursday, October 9 to Sunday, October 12) at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan, gathering fans of comics, anime, toys, and pop culture. Various pop culture announcements were made, rivaling San Diego’s Comic Con and making NYCC the East Coast’s (some say North America’s) largest pop culture convention with over 250,000 fans in attendance. NYCC has been happening since 2006, and this year was the biggest and best one yet. Every year, fans outdo themselves with cosplay and the programming continues to astound.
This year, some stand out celebrity-studded programming included Sigourney Weaver discussing Alien with Happy Sad Confused podcast host Josh Horowitz. Paramount Pictures hosted a panel on Stephen King’s The Running Man feat
