Parents, if you're sick of your kids running around, wishing they were a) adolescents, b) genetic anomalies c) amphibians and d) masters of the ancient art of Ninjitsu, then I am sorry to say that your life will not get easier at NYCC this year.
NYCC News: Adult Swim Lineup Announced
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the fun ones from the Nickelodeon cartoon not the weird looking ones from that movie that came out for about two minutes in August, will once again be making a grand appearance at the New York Comic Con. On Friday, October 10 from 2-3, which is absolutely during school hours mind you, NYCC attendees can-
"Revel in the mutation madness as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nunchuk their way through bad guys, eat pizza and kick Kraang butt! Please join Executive Producers Ciro Nieli and Brandon Auman as they give exclusive sneak peeks for the upcoming Season 3 and talk with the series' amazing voice talent including Seth Green (Leonardo), Rob Paulsen (Donatello), Greg Cipes (Michelangelo) and others. Moderated by Rich Magallanes, Sr. Vice President, Current Series, Nickelodeon Animation."
NYCC Announces The Official Defender Beer From The Brooklyn Brewery
The Nickelodeon show debuted a few years back and they put on one hell of a display at Comic Con. An entire hallway was done up to look like the tunnels underneath New York City. All four of our heroes were there for photographs and it helped spread the word out about the show. We were in a dark time, one without Turtles then.
I regret my comments then. I thought the new show looked a little cheap, a little childish. Yes, it is a show for children, but the animation was weak. I suspect Nickelodeon will be bringing the Turtles to the Con just to remind us all that there are more versions of our four Renaissance masters than the... movie that came out recently.
This also means that I can bust out my old Casey Jones costume again!
Single day tickets for NYCC are all sold out via official retailers. We'll hope to let you know all the goings on this October 9 through 12. Check out all of our NYCC 2014 coverage here.
