So after the con I can give a report on what I saw and did. Overall it was a good show, though I maintain the loss of some big exhibitors from previous years put a damper on things in my opinion and in 2012 I just had some really cool luck.
superherostuff, ubisoft and a few others had 2 booths each; another exhibitor had 3 booths; and the biggest offender Stylinonline had 4 booths. Yet Hasbro, Lego, Mondo, Bioware and a few other exhibitors that I have gone to in the past were missing too. To me the exhibit floor is tops so it was disappointing. I mean I know their focus is on comics so they don't get the movies studios on the exhibit floor, but the others should be there.
As to Panels I did see a lot. Some good ones I saw were Comic Book Men, The Walking Dead 10th Anniversary (comics), Robot Chicken, Starz Network, Jim Henson the Biography, Superman 75th Anniversary, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Walking Dead (show), Hercules, Defiance, and Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny (who were both high)
and I stopped in on I Have no sewing Machine but I Must Cosplay (I knew the moderator), The Charity Auction, and the NYCC Crew Talkback
Other cool stuff, Publishers were very cool with lots of book giveaways. Artist Alley is huge and I have ever increasing great times. The crowds were bad but more manageable than previous years and security was actually very good, I mean they were firm but not asses which can go a long way to having a good or bad experience
But I know what you people really want. PHOTOS

I found the crazy cat people (stan lee people) exceptionally rude as well and almost got into a fight with them on Sunday morning. They moved his signing location so I knew to head over to the room they moved the signing to as opposed to the booth but they told us he was signing at 10AM. I got to the line 9:40 and was 5th on line. They kept saying 10AM (multiple times) until Stan finally showed up at 10:45. Now I understand Stan Lee is usually a bit late but anything more than 20 minutes is rude and people should be better informed.
I was desperate at that point cause I did not want to miss any of the defiance panel at 11. Then they had him signing stack of comics for profession resellers until almost 10:57 (I was staring at my watch intently) at which point I was literally going at it with this little punk from their booth who then tried to tell me to leave the room and get a refund. Like I had not just wasted $170 (2 pops and 2 autographs, 1 for me and 1 for tridon) and 80 minutes on line. I was almost close to calling him out of the room after I got my signatures.
on the other hand the Image/Skybound people were exceptionally nice and cool throughout the show
This was my art purchase. It was not $425, that was my coat check number in the VIP room, but this was a piece drawn by Steve Ellis that was used on a cover of a DnD issue, so it was not cheap either
That white Camaro was pretty nice. When I was there on Friday the guy only had the girl on the door done and was working on the back hood. Hopefully next year we see some of those other bigger vendors come back. I don't know how you did it all four days tough. One was enough for me.
Been going to NYCC since its second show. This year was quite boring. I'm surprised DC did not have a booth this year. Seems like a lot of big exhibitors skipped this year. Though artist alley seems alot bigger than last year. Certainly alot better than SDCC's artist alley. NYCC's programming schedule just can't compete to SDCC's.
