My Top Five for NYCC 2013

NB NYCC 2013 bannerI’m in full on New York Comic Con recovery mode.  Thank God that today is Columbus Day and I don’t have to go to work because my body wouldn’t be able to take it.  My pedometer tells me I walked about 38 miles over the previous 4 days, and I can feel it, but damn it was worth it!   For those that couldn’t make it to comic con, I’ve put together a list of the best things that happened at NYCC for me this year, in no particular order.

This also means that the PS4 has a one week advantage over the Xbox One.  In the grand scheme of things this probably doesn’t mean much because getting a system on Day One for both systems will be hard if you aren’t pre-ordering.  Microsoft is still taking pre-Orders for their Day One Editions of the console on their website.
