New York Comic-Con kicked off today (Oct. 8, 2010) as thousands of people convened at the Jacob Javits Center to experience the “latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies and television.” In fact, so many people turned out that the Comic-Con staff had to halt new ticket sales for Saturday to prevent overcrowding. Wow!
The good folks at the Animal Planet booth (photo below) were sure happy to hear that UrbLife.com was in the building… then we spelled it out for them. God bless the nature buffs!
Check out the photos below, and we hope to see you on Saturday (if you were smart enough to purchase a weekend pass, that is)! CLICK TWICE on the photos to enlarge them!
