NEW YORK COMIC CON TURNS TEN
Like a superhero, the 7 train extension has arrived just in time to spare you that awkward trek from Eighth Avenue to the Javits Center while wearing your Batman cape and cowl. The star wattage for this tenth iteration of the pop-cult exposition New York Conic Con includes Billie Piper, who wowed nth-generation Doctor Who fans as the poignant Rose Tyler and the versatile Bryan C Cranston — as he scribbles in your autograph book, do you query him about Malcolm m the Middle or Breaking Bad? Panels range from a breakdown of the cultural intersections between hip-hop and comics to a Q&A with the creatives behind Cartoon Network's fulsomely bizarre Adventure Time. Last year I scored VG—F copy of Classics Illustrated's Crime and Punishment (1951) for three bucks; you never know what you'll discover in a dealer's box for the price of a subway ride. (The event is currently sold out, though tickets have been spied on StubHub.) At 10 a.m., through Sunday, Javits Center, 65S West 34th Street, 888-605-6059, newyorkcomiccon.com
