It seems there won’t be any television, movie, video games, music, cars or anything non-comic book related at this new Con. It doesn’t state whether they’ll allow any prose novels, anime or toys related booths at the Con.At Special Edition: NYC you will have the opportunity to collect the latest comics, buy the hard to find back issues and add original art to your collection. Special Edition: NYC is a pure celebration of comic book culture created specifically for die-hard comic book fans, creators and publishers!
Special Edition: NYC is an intimate event that is focused solely on the art, creation and culture of comic books. Special Edition: NYC is located in Javits Center North and will feature comic book creators, dealers and a limited number of panel discussions.
Special Edition: NYC is an event where Fans can meet their favorite comic book creators in an intimate environment. Special Edition: NYC is organized by ReedPOP, the creators of New York Comic Con, however this is a completely unique event and not meant to be a mini New York Comic Con.
The website also states that this is an entirely separate con from NYCC and not meant to be a mini comic con. Whichever way they slice it, it sounds like a great idea. NYCC has gotten horrifically bigger in such a short timespan and has become (like SDCC) more of a pop-culture con than the comics con it was originally conceived as. And at 4 whole days one can get con fatigue after even the 2nd full day.
A smallish 2 day comics-only con sounds very fun, and if NYCC is not possible for some people for whatever reason, this could be more doable.
