The day has come where I’m regretting the fact I won’t make it to all of Thursday at NYCC this year! This is a testament to the growing programming schedule at NYCC. Start your convention out right on Thursday where the crowds will be smaller, but the panels just as mighty. From comics to television to a screening of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Thursday has it all. Here’s our highlights, but be sure to check out the whole schedule here.
Confused about venues? Don’t worry, we’ve got you.
