New York City Comic Book Convention

I will be blogging for America this weekend from the New York City Comicon, a scifi/comic book jamboree happening this weekend at the Jacob Javits Center.  On the agenda -- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; the 70th anniversary of Marvel Comics;  Jedi Lightsaber fights; movie previews; and many, many costumes...

As Jesus said, "Come and see."
