New York Comic Con returns October 9-13. I am not sure if I will be "On the Beat" there, but if not, I will have someone from my NY-based crew there.
One person who has been there is Mick Foley. Wrestling legend Foley is known to have portrayed three characters in wrestling. Besides himself, he has wrestled as Mankind, Cactus Jack and Dude Love. That is a curse and a blessing. It opened him to many fans. It also meant he adjusted his appearances to fit the character.
Likewise at conventions, it is a double edged sword. Obviously, he is listed as Mick Foley, but many fans will ask about him appearing as any of his characters. Foley actually usually obliges fans. When I saw him in New York, he had the Mankind mask and the Dude Love hair and glasses. While a bit of a pain to carry all the accessories, it also increases his cash intake.
The full guest list hasn't been announced yet, but there will definitely be plenty of celebrities, wrestlers and creators. Go to newyorkcomiccon.com for more info and scheduling.
Mick Foley and me in New York, NY-October 2022.
