Station Notes/Scripts:

We're here at New York Comic Con.

If you're a fan of something, you're gonna find it here.

It was one massive line.

As soon as doors opened at the Javits Center, as fans waited to enter the center of the comic book universe.

People wait all year.

You can come here geek out, be a nerd and you're embraced and it was all worth the wait out today.

Every time you turn it was something new.

Darth Vader Dr Doom Ghostbusters to Ghostbusters convinced everyone to put on heavy proton pack because we never did it before and now they're regretting it.

But it's great.

It's great art display after character after booth after show, the four day convention nearly sold out already.

I saw the eyes.

Yeah, that's so cool.

That's so cool.

If you just want to dress up and escape reality, that's a, this is the place to do it.

But what would Comic Con be?

Comics are the heartbeat of?

So that'll be fine.

Anything, please let me know.

I'd like to see anything closer.

Please let me know.

Let's go over there and take a look at it without the comics.

I've been going to Comic Con since I was probably smaller than her inter Paul Preciosa who owns Paul's comics and is putting some superhero history in the hands of those who cherish it the most.

Look around.

I mean, there's a lot of different people here.

Everyone's kind of interested in different things, but everyone gets connected, a lot of different themed character shows and movies.

But the real theme here today.

Acceptance.

This is just such a sense of community, kind of acceptance, right?

And having fun and kind of expressing yourself.
