Many fans at Comic Con told JohnBDias they made their costumes themselves. They said it's special when so many people come together to celebrate comic book culture.
The self-proclaimed"geek fest" is not just a costume party. From now until Sunday, New York will be home to a blend of comic book culture. While creative costumes will be on full display, there's also merchandise, unique artwork, tons of photo-ops and panels with celebrities.
Because of such high demand for certain panels, organizers encourage spectators to use their new reservation system to guarantee seating. "Got here extra early. Just few in from Chicago like an hour ago," Zachary Joy told CBS2's John Dias. "It's my social getaway. I love collecting and reselling, I love it all," Massapequa resident Matt Farino said.
"It's exciting. It's tiring, but it's worth it," said Elmhurst resident Juan Pinilia."I'm looking forward to One Piece Tour. That's an anime that's been really popular in Japan, and they're having a booth here this year." Keep in mind, face masks must be worn at all times. But proof of a COVID vaccine or negative COVID test are not required this year.
