AS SEEN ON TV OR MAYBE NOT...
When so many movies and TV shows are based on comic books, graphic novels, and manga, it makes sense to showcase coming attractions for this group of fans. This year I didn’t see a Walking Dead character on my badge and immediately wanted to know what was on everyone else’s badges. In fact, the first thing I said to Jose after, “It’s so quiet” was “There’s really no Walking Dead posters anywhere?” Between Reed Pop planning to reduce attendance and interactions, it makes sense so many companies would skip the Show. But it still makes it feel a lot less like New York Comic Con when SyFy doesn’t create a fan lounge with their logo plastered everywhere. It’s strange to not see cars Chevy had artists decorate specifically for the Show. I miss seeing people take advantage of Geico’s mega photobooth. Walking from the Crystal Palace to the North Concourse shouldn’t be so easy.
