Nerds on Deck

A forum for nerds dedicated to comics, cosplay and pop culture!

I'm still reminiscing on the dopeness that was NYCC '25! New York Comic Con is such a vibe! I know that I use "such a vibe" a lot! But, I really have no words for the experience of NYCC this year! I miss it - the people, the community, its smells, and all-that! My heart truly is full! Words to describe my experience and my sentiment: freeing, finally, contentment and home! I'm not sure where to go from here, but it's def to another con, and soon!

If ya know of any happening in the Tri-state area, please share!

This year's experience of working NYCC hit different on so many levels! In years' past, I found myself navigating the vastness of the geek/nerd space, hesitant for tons of reasons (valid and foolish) and unsure of myself or where I fitted in, wondering if there was a place for me. I was like a wayward son coming back home, or rather a new kid at school... I was uncertain! That changed when I really began showing up for my business and choosing to be present in the storytelling process of the Brooklyn Zoo Stories. I was no longer operating at a surface level but was engaged in the branding, design and illustration of content and merch for Y Cre8te Films? and Brooklyn Zoo. Doing research for the Brooklyn Zoo Stories, I found myself embarked on a journey that would unearth dormant passions and aspirations. However, one question remained within me.…

What were the thoughts toward 'The Rings of Power'? I thoroughly enjoyed season one and am looking forward to watching season two. I already have my "favies" and annoying but clutch characters. I will also be purchasing the 'Silmarillion' as a Christmas gift for myself and snackin' on that while on Christmas vacation.
