MAKING THE MOST OF COMIC CON | NYCC 2022 | Comic Convention Tips

[@alkeaton]

1: Have a plan. Doubling or tripling back is frustrating. 2: Utilize signature services for creators that you do not have to see in person. Normally they will charge you 15 - 20 bucks to stand in line. 3: Bring bottled water & a phone quick charger. 4: Plan on something big enough & sturdy enough to protect what you buy. 5: Lastly break up your day. Plan your panels, autographs, and purchasing accordingly. No need to lug around purchases to everything all day. You can either stash them in a locker on site or wait before leaving. Doing all this helps reduce the stress and increase the fun.

Planning to go last minute to my first NYCC, feeling a little more relaxed and psyched after your tips! Thanks!

[@comicsaredope]

You mean I should not rock my timbs and Yankee fitted? 🤣🤣🤣

[@comicsaredope]

The Yankee fitted is a must at all times. But not the timbs. (Insert T-Pain Timberland rant here) lol

[@bellanepicawesome7797]

Is Hot inside so no timbs cause the standing and walking isn’t it and fit it if you don’t get hot fast

[@bunkmastab]

Everybody's got different tastes and values, but if you're spending all weekend standing in line, that sounds like a bad weekend to me. Also, telling single people to offer that cutie a hot dog? I see you Kicks, you ain't slick

[@wylierichardson-tu6zs]

What harm could it do, tho? My take is that if you are looking to make personal connections at a con, the best idea would be to compliment someone on their costume (if they are wearing one) or make a comment (not a disparaging one) about something they are buying or looking at.

[@ramoncastro4737]

Thank you for these tips. I'm hoping to go to new york comic con one day ☺

[@dougs5002]

[@comicsaredope]

[@drocksteadyreviews]

@@comicsaredope Oh I do lmao I always have a fresh pair and then kind of a beater pair for most days 😂

[@TheInternational1978]

Yeah all this is true, been going to NYCC since 2008 and I still makes these mistakes

[@FlashByKnight]

I did not have convention pimping on my convention bingo card.

[@jamesdemsak1938]

Are rolling bags allowed in NYCC cause I’m hearing they aren’t

[@natevari2509]

How much do writers/artists like Jim Lee or Mark Waid charge for signatures?

[@comicsaredope]

that's a good question. I haven't seen their pricing online. When I met John Romita Jr this summer, it was $20 per raw signature.

[@canadanionerdo5434]

So should not wear a Boston hat?

[@comicsaredope]

[@canadanionerdo5434]

@@comicsaredope I had a some what decent time at NYCC. But I brought down a few comics to get autographed *8 in total* and a few artists didn't show up or some other ones wanted 15 dollars to get something signed.
