As this episode releases, we are now one week away from this year's New York Comic Con, which also happens to be the 20th edition of the show. To prep us all for this undertaking and ordeal of a convention, Ian, Kris, Raph and Jamal have gathered to give you their combined knowledge of what this year's con will bring. This includes do's and don'ts for conventions in general, how to survive the Javits Center, how to afford attending a con and still have money in your bank account, food and travel suggestions and recommendations, suggested arrival times if you're not there to grab exclusives, and we go through the whole of the schedule for this year's con and give picks for panels and events we're looking forward to. Plus, what it's like tabling at a con, and how you should treat your favorite creators when you go to them.
