Only one more sleep until New York Comic-Con 2012! I’m really excited to attend the event for a third year and this year continues to bring excellent artists, celebrities and entertainment to the east coast. There’s a lot of movie footage premiers and television guests that are showing up and here are some of the panels I’ll *try* to be covering on my days at the venue. There are also exclusive movie posters from Spoke Art, Acid Free, and Mondo that I would love to get. As well as a few autographs I didn’t list here.

This will likely be a day where I take a ton of pictures and try out some of the latest video games. I’ll be bringing my camera so I hope to get some HD footage of the convention to share.
