New York Comic Con 2013 Review - Part 2

The New York City area weathermen once again failed to correctly predict the weather on the 2nd Day of comic con. A fierce Nor'Easter was to have hit the area bringing rains of biblical proportions. Thankfully, that never happened, and after a short shower, it was business as usual for everyone shooting photos outside of the Javits Center.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 11, 2013

The devastation of a fierce Nor'Easter storm could never measure up to the devastation a giant Kaiju monster would cause if it decided to attack in New York City. But what if a giant kaiju  monster attacked the city of Los Angeles? What if the kaiju was a spider? What if that spider was a big ass spider??? That's the question director Mike Mendez tries to answer in his new movie entitled Big Ass Spider. I was able to sit in on the movie's roundtable press discussion which featured Director Mike Mendez, actors Greg Grunberg and Lombardo Boyar, and actress Clair Kraymer. It's totally unfair to compare this film to any of the crap Syfy has recently produced, especially since this movie is actually meant to be over top funny. Big Ass Spider is a horror/kaiju/comedy that goes above and beyond any of the cheesy Syfy Channel films like Sharknado and Mega Shark Vs. Crocosaurus. Here's the official trailer:

Our upcoming coverage of the Big Ass Spider press panel will be featured on Best-Horror-Films.Com soon. For now you'll have to just settle for a sneak peak with this awesome photograph Master Gio and I took with Greg Grunberg, Lombardo Boyar, and Mike Mendez.

In and around the Big Ass Spider Panel, I spent a good chunk of time photographing the mass of cosplayers in attendance. There were some really creative costumes this year. The growing media attention, as well as the SyFy Heroes of Cosplay "reality" series, has led this year's cosplayers to turn their costume designs up a notch. Here are a few of my favorite cosplays from Day 2 of comic con.
