New York Comic Con went full speed ahead into its second day with big news dropping early! Let’s take a quick recap of what went down on NYCC’s latest convention day!
COMIXOLOGY Originals led an off site event showcasing the latest of their line. They touted a major score for their transition from Digital to print initiative. It was announced that Ablaze and Mad Cave Studios will join Dark Horse Comics in releasing certain titles in print form!
There were a few new titles announced for the line. One of which is the return of Scott & Jack Snyder and Valeria Favoccia’s series “By A Thread“. Book one makes its debut in print via Dark Horse Comics in late 2024.
BOOM! Studios celebrated 5 years of SIKTC with their “Enter the Slaughterverse” panel. James Tynion IV, Werther Dell’edera, Tate Brombal, Ramiro Portnoy and Eric Harburn broke down the saga of the Order of St. George. Fans in attendance also heard some information pertaining to the #0 issue dropping in November. Tynion also eluded to the plan of going at least 100 issues as there is much stories left to be told.
Star Wars fans were treated to some major news at the Lucasfilm Publishing: Star Wars: Stories From a Galaxy Far, Far Away Panel. It was announced that STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHTS will be an ongoing series hitting shops in March 2025. Marc Guggenheim and Madibek Musabekov is the creative team taking on this new chapter in Star Wars lore.
Arguably the biggest panel of the day belonged to DC COMICS. Their “Absolute/All In” panel was packed out with fans eager to hear about more new releases coming in both universes. In the “All In” side of things, AQUAMAN (by Jeremy Adams & John Timms) and JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE ATOM PROJECT (by John Ridley, Ryan Parrott, and Mike Perkins) generated quite the reaction.

The Walking Dead franchise reminded everyone of why they have been a staple of NYCC for years. “Dead City” and “Daryl Dixon – The Book Of Carol” both took hold of the Empire Stage with their casts holding court. Fans left with witnessing some new scenes that are sure to keep their fanbase buzzing.
