From Friday through Sunday, the New York City Comic Convention took over Manhattan's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, and Will Greenwald and I were there to brave the hordes of Star Wars cosplayers to bring you plenty of super sweet news coverage. Actually, scratch that. We get along just fine with Star Wars cosplayers. No horde-braving is necessary.

That is the biggest...

...pikachu ever! I wonder what would happen if a Hello Kitty balloon got into a
tussle with the Pikachu balloon?

A clash of two titans for cuteness!

or rather, a clash of two titans

for scaring the living daylights out of Mike Yamamoto. Isn't that right, Mike?
