I’m in the midst of a con marathon. A conathon, let’s say. Yesterday I attended my second of three cons in three weeks – Special Edition NYC. It’s run by ReedPOP, who also produce New York Comic Con (as well as Book Con, which I went to last week), and it’s sort of a mini-NYCC. It’s a con devoted exclusively to comics, and it’s on a somewhat smaller scale. It wasn’t at the Javits Center this year, but rather at Pier 94. I only decided to go a few days ago, when I saw they still had tickets available. I was getting out of two straight weeks of tech for shows I’ve been directing, and the thought of giving up a restful Saturday was not appealing, but I decided I’d regret it if I let it pass by. I was second-guessing my decision, though, when I arrived and saw the line.
