Tomorrow is the start of New York Comic Con 2014, and I for one am pretty excited. Though I’ve attended NYCC in the past, it’s actually been five years since I was last able to attend, and I’ve heard from people that it’s changed a lot. Heck, people over the past couple of years have been talking about how it rivals San Diego Comic Con now, and that is certainly not the convention I left back in 2009.
I know that at a con this big I won’t be able to do everything I want, but here’s some stuff I’m considering.

I experienced an overload going to NYCC last year. Unfortunately my schedule kept me from attending this time.
I do plan on going to SDCC next year though. With hearing things like 2016 possibly being the last SDCC do to a dropped expansion plan for the convention center I figured next year is a good a time as any.

SDCC is so much fun! You’ll get the best stuff for free! If you go to NYCC or SDCC, don’t forget to check out the booths on the last day. On that day, I usually find the cheapest manga and games (one year I found $1 manga).
