New York Comic Con (NYCC) is just around the corner! While there’s a lot to see and do at the fan convention from Oct. 17-22 at the Javits Center in New York City, you can guarantee exclusive goodies, giveaways, games, and more will be available at The Pop Insider’s booth (No. 1829).
When your NYCC squad pulls up to the booth, make sure everyone grabs a copy of our Holiday Gift Guide — this is the perfect way to plan your holiday shopping (and is great for reading while you wait in line for your next panel or for the cosplay contest). You’ll find these on magazine stands and in the hands of The Pop Insider staff.
We’re easy to locate too — our entire team at The Pop Insider will be decked out in T-shirts provided by The Funnel Cake Tree. While you can’t purchase our official Pop Insider swag, check out The Funnel Cake Tree for adorable, on-trend, pop-culture-inspired apparel and accessories.
