The first ever NYCC is over. Woo hoo!

And what a fabulous time it was. I haven’t had a chance to check out any of the press about the show (I’m sure Heidi has the full scoop), but here’s all you really need to know: they oversold by about seven million. Okay, so maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but we heard reports of 11k pre-sold tickets for a room with a capacity of 2600 (according to our intrepid-and-angry source who apparently looked the information up on the Javits Center website). A number of people reported being turned away yesterday (”I would have been here on Saturday, but they wouldn’t let me in”) and they didn’t sell any additional tickets today. Leland overheard some story about a livid Frank Miller and police escorts to the con floor (escorting him in, not out, let’s be clear…).

Anyway. The moral of the story is, yes, Virginia, New York City is an excellent locale for a comics convention. If you build it, they will come.

More later, but for now, thanks to each and every person who spent time at our table, old and new friends alike. It meant the world to us. We had a blast!
