We are delighted to be returning to New York city for the biggest comic and TV convention in the USA New York Comic Con 2015. The four day event runs from Thursday the 7th to Sunday the 10th of October in the Javits Convention Center. The annual event is in it’s 10th year this year and attracted over 150,000 attendees in 2014 over 20,000 more than San Diego Comic Con which caps it’s attendance at 130,000. There are many many events, signings, screenings, games and comic book announcements to keep those of us going to the event excited over the four days. Here’s are our New York Comic Con 2015 must see DC Events.

1. WBTV Preview Night Screenings – Thursday the 8th October
   Returning for a third year the WBTV screening event was host to the Constantine in 2014 and excellent pilot for a show that had an untimely end mid season. For the new season we will get to see the premiere of the new CBS TV show Supergirl starring Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks and Calista Flockhart in the big budget show from the creators of the Flash and Arrow. We’ve heard great things about the show so far so we’re excited to see the pilot. Also at the screening night will be a sneak peak at DC’s Legends of Tomorrow another spin-off of Arrow and Flash featuring both villains and heroes from those to shows as time-traveling crime fighters. The premise seems barmy so we’re looking forward to see how the less serious side of the DC universe will be on show when it premieres in 2016. Check out the trailers below.

  • New York Comic Con is always known for it’s surprises. In 2014 George Clooney showed up at the Tomorrowland panel while on his honeymoon to give an apology to Batman fans for “killing the franchise”. There are rumours that there will be a special sneak peek at the upcoming Batman V Superman at this years event thanks to a comment by a leading Warner Brothers executive. Only time will tell but watch this space.

We’re looking forward to seeing all the attendees there but we will be podcasting after the event to discuss everything we saw there and hopefully some exclusive information that you’ll enjoy as much as we will.
