The crowds and energy at NYCC did not wane at all on Sunday--if anything, things seemed even more crazy as attendees made sure to see very booth, attend every panel and make every purchase they could before the show floor closed at 5pm.
I walked the entirety of the show floor at least four times yesterday, just taking in all the sights and sounds, doing some interviews ans talking to creators about how their weekends went.

I walked the entirety of the show floor at least four times yesterday, just taking in all the sights and sounds, doing some interviews ans talking to creators about how their weekends went.
The consensus from the creators I spoke to was that this felt like the most consistently crowded show in NYCC's history, and for most of them, that translated into goods weekends sales-wise. Artist Alley on Sunday was as crowded, if not more crowded than the show floor proper, and that was great to see.
As is the tradition, many of the vendors offer discounts on Sunday as they want to get rid of some stock. There were some great deals on comics to be found, and I grabbed a few series for my kids at great prices.

One of my favorite interviews from Sunday that I can't wait top share was with James Morgan, CEO of IndieBox. Image a Loot Crate for indie video games, put together with the love and attention of lifelong gamers. Instruction manuals, soundtracks, and even game controllers have been part of some of the past boxes, and they all look fantastic. It's a brilliant idea, and I can't wait to get my first one.
I also finally made it over to the Red Stylo booth and picked up my copy of The 27 Club, A Comic Anthology. It looks beautiful, and I cannot wait to start reading it this week. Stay tuned for much discussion on Secret Identity about that one.
As the show floor closed, I once again found myself thinking about how fast the weekend went, as it does every year. I want to that ReedPOP again for letting Secret Identity come and cover the show, which we've been doing for almost as long as NYCC has existed. We'll be featuring interviews and discussing what we experienced at the show for months to come. Until then, here's a few more pics from Sunday at the show.
