I got to New York Comic Con at 8 a.m. Saturday and spent nearly three hours waiting in lines. It was worth it because I managed to procure wristbands for both main stage panels I was hoping to get into this afternoon: “AMC’s The Walking Dead” and “Marvel’s Daredevil, Exclusively on Netflix.”

I finally left the queue hall around 11 a.m. and decided that, since the first panel I would be attending did not begin until 3:30 p.m. and I had a couple of hours to kill before I needed to worry about getting in line, I would just wander the show floor to experience what a Saturday at NYCC is like compared to the first two days. I had heard stories, but I wanted to see for myself.

Saturday at NYCC is kind of crazy. While I thought the Javits Center was pretty full the first two days I was here, that was nothing compared to what it now looked like. Nearly every inch of space in the building was filled with people, comic characters, cartoon characters — fans in every costume you can think of and then some. One of my favorites was a girl in a Rocket Raccoon costume who had made her own dancing, potted Groot.

During my wanderings, I also passed the booth where Sean Maguire of Once Upon a Time was autographing and was able to catch a glimpse of Robin Hood himself. I was hoping for the same when I approached the area where Manu Bennett of Arrow and The Hobbit movies was doing photo ops, but he had not arrived yet.

I came down to the line for The Walking Dead panel two hours early, not because I was concerned about getting a good seat, but more because I was ready for a break and wanted to rest. While I was waiting, I was able to watch the Star Trek: The Next Generation panel on the large screens set up outside the room.

The Walking Dead panel was terrific. That cast just works so well together, and it’s apparent how much they love their characters and care about each other. Melissa McBride was brought to tears talking about Carol’s journey because she is so invested in her character.

Following The Walking Dead panel was Marvel’s Daredevil preview. Marvel has put together a great cast, and the footage they debuted here looks great. I can’t wait to see the show when it premieres.

After Daredevil, I went over to the Constantine screening, mostly so I could see the cast Q&A since I had already seen the episode. I enjoyed the episode even more the second time around — I think they’re on the right track with the tone for the show, even though it surprises me a little what NBC is allowing them to do. Some of the upcoming plans for the show sound interesting, and they will be following some of the story lines from the comics.

The last item on my schedule for Saturday was the screening of the new episode of Doctor Who. I always jump at any chance I can get to watch an episode of the show in a room full of Whovians. It’s always better to be surrounded by fans who understand all the jokes — especially in moments when the Doctor offers someone a jelly baby or asks the mummy that is about to attack him, “Are you my Mummy?”

And that was my Saturday at New York Comic Con. I may not have had any celebrity run-ins today, but it was still a really good day. This weekend has been a great experience all around so far, and I can’t believe it’s nearly over already!
