New York Comic 2018

Went last year and the line at MCOC was ridiculous- so didn’t get to meet anyone or play. Was unfortunate they didn’t seem to have people to chat with otherwise

Want to go to see CEO brawl with other alliance leaders in the parking lot. Like men.

Stark assignment. But with rewards that are worth my time.

NYCC itself was amazing with or without Kabam. I’d recommend going if you can (General tickets just went on sale). I’m not going back this year as NYC itself is too expensive.

MCOC will definitely be at NYCC this year, but I don't yet know what the staff roster will look like. We always get a HUGE crowd to the booth and take as many staff down with us as we can spare from working on the live game

And I second others saying that NYCC is amazing with or without us. If you like comics, games, Super Heroes, et cetera - it's a great place to be. So many like-minded and passionate people in one spot, and the cosplays are always humbling good. I always have this moment where I step into the convention center and my heart does that happy little 'crunch' within my chest, as I whisper to myself 'These Are My People'. Which is also the same way I felt when I went to my first ever PAX

How is PAX compared to NYCC @Ad0ra_? You been to any other comicons other than San Diego?? Thinking of hitting up more affordable ones, but not sure if they’re worth it.

Are you guys planning to have the same presence and booth/event size as last year? As in new champ play tests, competition, and dev interviews? MCOC would be my main reason going to NYCC.

PAX is entirely video games focused, where as NYCC is more comics focused. Both both have some crossover. it just depends on what your passions are, yanno? I personally love both. I've not really been to the smaller ones, but it depends on what you go for. If you're going for celebrities and large, fancy booths, then I suspect the smaller cons to have much less of that. But if you are going for the really cool sense of community you get from a bunch of people in one place that all love the same things, then it's 100% worth it. There are talented cosplayers even at the smaller cons, too

We will have the same 'size' presence, but I can't reveal details of what we are doing. We always try to do a new/different thing each year, especially because we do have some fans that come to see us every single year. It is really flattering that we are the main reason you go to NYCC, thank you for that!! Planning a presence at NYCC takes MONTHS of work (probably around 10 months to be honest) and logistics stuff, so it's always nice to hear how much people appreciate that.

Can you guys setup a booth during the same time that isn’t in NYC but say in Alberta. So us non travelling Canadians can partake in the fun? 😂😂

The amount of work required to make a presence at a comic-con happen means that it's unlikely we would have two different presences at the same time - we don't have a team size big enough to make it work. We know that there are a lot of people around the world that would love to see something in their local area though, which is why we created a sub-forum with some ideas and suggestions surrounding hosting community led meet-ups. A few people have done it and had great fun doing it, but the forum section hasn't seen a lot of traffic yet. You can find those resources here:

PS shout out to Alberta! I am born and raised in BC, but have a lot of family scattered throughout AB

It was worth a shot. I would be thrilled to see an official meet up of sorts put on by Kabam locally. Either Edmonton or Calgary (🤢). Personally I’m not much into the “community” ran meet ups.

P.S. born and raised in a certain Wasp’s hometown 😉

@Ad0ra_ can hire me to run booths at smaller cons for you in the eastern US. I’d just ask for minimum wage and expenses to be covered

Thanks for the info . Think I’m going to make that trip just want to make sure I can get work off as there is a decent amount of time before it starts .
