Plus: a brand new way of Kibbling and Bitting!

The ever moving world of comic con rolls on and this weekend for fan on Long Island, it's Eternal Con, also known as The Long Island Comic Con. After a few years in the...

There is nothing quite like EternalCon. It's a throwback comics show with longboxes, cartoonists, wrestlers, Star Trek Cast members, toys and masks...all set in an aviation museum, namely the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, LI. This year's event expanded quite a bit from last year, and artists alley was set up in the actual museum, so you could wander around and buy a comic from Greg Pak and then look at a Spitfire, or buy some old books while perusing the terrain of Mars. I saw a lot of oddball robotic sculptures dotting the premises and I never figured out of they were part of the con or part of the museum.

So this weekend there will be THREE comics/pop culture shows in the metropolitan New York area. What's a fan to do?

It may not be Con Wars, but it is con crunch. With the exploding popularity of comics/pop culture shows around the world, more and more events, some of them highly localized, are springing up. And as cons get more popular, suitable dates are becoming harder and harder to find. New York is currently home to three major events—the indie focused MoCCA Festival in April, the sprawling New York Comic Con in October, and the art comics focused Comic Arts Brooklyn in November. And now a summer show is coming: ReedPOP, the organization behind NYCC, is launching Special Edition NYC June 14-15 at the Javits Center. The show will be purely comics focused, without the video game/movie distractions of NYCC, and held in the popular shed-like “North Hall” where artists alley was held the last two years of NYCC. Ironically, this weekend – Father’s Day — is already hosting two other shows in the New York metro area.

If you're near Garden City, Long Island this weekend you might wish to check out the first ever EternalCon—it's a one-day show at a fantastic location: the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City,...
