Hidden Gems to Explore at NY Comic-Con 2015
There's so much to see and do during New York Comic-Con weekend that it's easy to miss out on some low-key, but no-less-awesome panels and events. Luckily, we scoured the listings to bring you our top picks that you might not have heard about!
For example, all weekend, there will be fandom-specific meet-ups in room 1E03, which we've never seen on the schedule before. Fans of Batman, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who are just a few of the groups getting their own time slot to geek out and show off their nerd cred. Meeting fellow fans is always one the best parts of NYCC, so don't forget to check the schedule and pop into this room at some point!
