Forget Halloween.
Roughly two weeks before the spooky holiday, all of the best costumes the city has to offer pop up at the New York City Comic Con.
Last fall, the New York Post dropped in and snapped pics of Barbie, Toad, Chucky, Super Saiyan and punk Spider-Man cosplayers at the Jacob Javits Center.
And while we can’t wait to see what attendees dress up as on Oct. 17-20 at this year’s NYCC, we’re equally excited for all the stars and creators scheduled to pop in this year.
Just a few of the biggest names on the bill include Elizabeth Olsen (“WandaVision”), John Boyega (“Star Wars”), Josh Brolin (“Dune 2”), Paul Bettany (“Avengers: Infinity War”) and Ella Purnell (“Fallout”) to sign autographs.
Plus, Walton Goggins, Andy Serkis, Orlando Bloom, Hayley Atwell and Aya Cash will be there, too.
Don’t sleep on Brett Goldstein, Brian Cox, Billy West, Carla Gugino and Chris Gethard either.
While we’re at it, Cristin Milioti, Danny Elfman, Darryl “DMC” McDaniel, Dascha Polanco, David Harbour, Denise Richards, Eli Roth, Frank Miller, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jack Quaid, James Gunn, Jason Lee, Jason Mewes, Jason Segel, John DiMaggio, Kevin Smith, Kyle McLachlan, Lev Grossman, Mads Mikkelsen, Marisa Tomei, Matt Groening, Matt Smith, Mick Foley, Mike Flanagan, Phil LaMarr, Rachael Leigh Cook, Ralph Macchio, Stephen Colbert, Ti West, Todd McFarlane, Zach Cherry and Zoë Chao will be there as well.
Sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves. We’re a little excited. This is like a music festival on steroids.
Truth be told, even after that outburst, we’re still just scratching the surface here.
In total, over 650 (!) artists, writers, actors and personalities will be at the 2024 Comic Con.
And, if you want to be there, last-minute tickets are still available.
At the time of publication, three-day passes start at $253 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Single-day passes can be snagged for as low as $91 before fees.
