Watch the full NYCC 2024 Retailer Day full presentations from the likes of DC Comics, Image Comics, Kickstarter, and more
ReedPop partnered with ComicsPRO, Lunar Distribution, Tiny Onion and more on comics industry-centric programming a day before New York Comic Con opened to the public
Popverse was there for all four days of New York Comic Con 2024, immersing ourselves in the pop culture party full of vendors, events, and celebrities from the worlds of comics, movies, TV, gaming, and more. If you couldn't make it (or are worried you missed something) click the link for our wall-to-wall coverage of the event.
Before doors to NYCC 2024 opened to the 200,000 fans and pros on October 17, ReedPop hosted a closed-door event for those of us that work in the comics industry, titled 'Retailer Day' - and although you may have not been able to score a pass to this, we filmed the whole thing so you can see what you missed.
Watch as DC Comics, Image Comics, ComicsPRO, Kickstarter, and more spoke about their current and upcoming plans for comics, and how they're growing the industry from their point-of-view.
