Who's excited for Comic Con? 

New York Comic Con 2014 came and went in the blink of an eye. It's funny because I remember all the times I went to Comic Con it seemed so long because of all the preparation before hand. See, I always cosplay. I usually dress up 3 out of 4 days minimum. All the makeup, hair, props, making sure things aren't going to fall apart on me etc. It takes a lot of work. This isn't Halloween folks, It's New York Freaken Comic Con! A lot of thought goes behind these costumes. These cosplayers are more than just dressed up, they're actors.

The only New York Comic Con I didn't dress up for was my very first one. I was about 17.... after that I was hooked. I remember going down the aisles at 17 (A young and cute little Nubia) looking at all the booths and enjoying the art of creativity left and right thinking WOW, this is awesome. The cosplayers were a plus back in the day. It's was a magical little moment and the vibe back then was just SO COOL. Comic Con wasn't as packed and popular as it is now so it felt even more special. Don't get me wrong, things are still awesome now but a lot has changed in 10 years, A LOT.

Anyway moving on, our awesome friend and photographer Theresa Taylor went behind her lens to show us some of the great costumes people cooked up this year. Enjoy!

You have to know that any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle panel going down at Comic Con is going to have a HUGE line and be jam packed... I mean why wouldn't it be? Who wouldn't love awesome Turtles who are ninjas and love to devour pizza?

Fans of the Nickelodeons TMNT cartoon rejoiced and anxiously waited for the panelist to talk and show some season 3 teasers. On stage you had executive producer Ciro Neili, head writer Brandon Auman, and voice artists Greg Cipes (Michelangelo), Rob Paulsen (Donatello), Seth Green (the new Leonardo), and Eric Bauza (Tiger Claw).

Some teasers and news I found interesting was the return of Renet, an old character from the comics who's going to be voiced by Ashley Johnson. The producers also promised more female characters coming soon! (girl power y'all).

The news I found to be the coolest, being someone who grew up on the old cartoons was *drum rolls please* WAIT FOR IT... The return of the iconic Behop and Rocksteady! How freaken awesome is that! Remember these guys?

Cosplayers do such a GOOD job! I've cosplayed many times myself and every year I try to out-do the previous. Some people that cosplay can basically consider themselves part-time actors. The way they pose, battle with other cosplayers and the dedication behind what they do throughout the convention is fascinating.

Mr Daniel Mejia got behind his lens for PGTN to shoot some of the amazing cosplayers in their essence. From Poké Balls, Batman battles, The Joker, A blinged out Ms. Captain America
