Conclusion

   
 

As the convention came to a close on Sunday we look back at all the amazing events that took place these past 72 hours.

NY Comic con 2007 was by far one of the most impressive events I've covered.

Though navigation through the 4 levels of convention center was semi difficult and to lack of direction signs & less detailed maps made it hard for con goers & new ones alike to find many panel rooms & events they wanted to see.

 

The staff did an excellent job in the organizing & planning due to twice the space & the capacity, overall it was will & determination to make the whole event a great experience for everyone.

 

 
   

 

 

Indeed it will be an event to be remembered.
