NY Comic Con starts today, MASTODON is there! (+ all dates)

WHAT IS NEW YORK COMIC CON?
New York Comic Con is the East Coast’s biggest and most exciting popular culture convention. Our show floor plays host to the latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies, and television. Our panels and autograph sessions give fans a chance to interact with their favorite creators. Our screening rooms feature sneak peeks at films and television shows months before they hit either big or small screens. And with dedicated professional hours, New York Comic Con is a market place, bringing together the major players in the entertainment industry. New York Comic Con is the second largest pop culture convention in America and the only one that takes place in the comic book, publishing, media, and licensing capital of the world — Gotham City.

WHERE IS NEW YORK COMIC CON?
New York Comic Con is held at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan. The Javits Center is located at 655 West 34th Street. See our Travel page for directions and information about New York City ‘s buses and subways.

The Comic Con opens to the public at 1:00, and that is exactly the same time Mastodon will be appearing there. “They will be at the Namco/Bandai kiosk for the debut of the new Splatterhouse game at 1pm.” I assume that means to sign autographs and pose for pictures (Meet & Greet), and NOT to perform.

MastodonMastodon‘s new album is coming out soon.

Mastodon‘s next scheduled show is in Atlanta for the Scion Rock Fest. They’re also playing Coachella.

In related news, “Marvel Comics was named Comic Book Publisher of the Year and DC Comics received eight awards, including Original Graphic Novel of the Year for its Joker Hardcover and Trade Paperback of the Year for perennial bestseller, “The Watchmen TP,” at the 2008 Diamond Gem Awards.”

And, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is in theaters on May 1st.
