It's a pretty good con with room to grow, but will need a lot more improvement before it becomes the East Coast equivalent to San Diego. Will definitely check out next year's con since I generally had a good experience. One thing, they need maybe one or two more ATMs just in case. The ATM on floor 2 (if I remember right) ran out of cash which led to a pretty long line at the lower level ATM in Javits on Sunday. Wasn't a bad line when I got there (maybe a 20 minute wait arond 11:00am), but if attendence goes up next year, an extra ATM or two on the premises would be convenient. I guess it didn't help that there was a travel convention going on at the same time. Hold on... water is wet? Nice assessment.

NYCC was a great place if you wanted to meet/get sketches from most of the greats (Stan Lee, Steranko, Infantino, Adams, etc etc), but beyond that you are better off with a smaller con.
