Adult Swim Does New York Comic Con 2015 Right

Adult Swim does New York Comic Con 2015 right, and I mean they really do it right! 

Even without a mention (at least yet, hint, hint) of a Rick & Morty panel or event, the tried and true staples of Cartoon Network's adult only cartoon platform - i.e. Robot Chicken kicking off Season Eight and The Venture Bros. - are injecting themselves fully into the city and the east coast NYCC that all have come to love, making gargantuan fan events and premieres throughout the neighborhood.

The full press release will follow below, but from the Con standpoint we are talking about a main stage takeover on Friday where the creators and stars of the Adult Swim's infamously dirty and oh so delightful cartoons will be highlighted and on hand, IN PERSON, including the ingenious Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, Matthew Senreich, Jackson Publick, Doc Hammer, Jon Glaser, Stephanie March, Scott Adsit, and many more.

What struck me was three things: one, the huge panels on Friday; two, the actual signing, yes Seth Green is signing your doo-dads, your toys and your nipples, on Saturday; three, the FREE to R.S.V.P. events located throughout New York City where you can catch the exclusive first glimpses of premiere material, like the world premiere of Robot Chicken DC Comics Special III: Magical Friendship [and the] . . . two companies will also debut the third and final custom video in “The Colonel’s Chronicles,” the epic space adventure starring Colonel Sanders and the Robot Chicken, or the Adult Swim Tyrannic Second Maiden Voyage for adults 21+ to hang with the friends and family of Adult Swim as a drunken boat sways up and down along the Hudson.

This Adult Swim Con weekend is going to be raucous fun!
