Popverse's top stories

• Five Nights at Freddy's comics delayed, but not cancelled, in the wake of criticism about the art
• Explaining Rachel Rozman, Natasha Lyonne's Fantastic Four: First Steps character [Lore Corner]
• Alien: Earth star Timothy Olyphant couldn't sell Larry David on the show in the perfect real-life Curb Your Enthusiasm moment

I’ll let you in on a little secret: even though New York Comic Con 2025 is still months away as of this writing, we’ve been preparing to cover the Northeast’s premiere pop culture event basically since 2025 began. Whatever kind of comics fan you are - whether that’s DC Comics, Spider-Man mags, Transformers tales, or something else - we’ve got your back. Don’t believe me? Well, how about we tell you where you can meet DC Comics, Spider-Man, and Transformers creators? 

Those are Tom King, Dan Slott, and Daniel Warren Johnson, by the way, and like so many others, they’re going to be meeting fans at NYCC ‘25’s Artist Alley. And lest you think I’m just leaning on those names to get you there, take a gander at the full list of Artist Alley attendees lined up for this fall. Just try and tell me that this line-up doesn’t cover your particular interest in the wide world of comics, I dare you.

Honestly, congratulations if you've made it this far - that's almost 500 names you just scrolled through! And since each of them is going to be at NYCC '25, it's probably worth getting your tickets to the event, don't you think? Especially if you've got those sweet, sweet Popverse Superfan perks. After all, what's the good in seeing this giant list of comics creators if you won't get to meet them yourself?

Get ready for New York Comic Con 2025 (and all its spooky themes!) with our guides to who's appearing in Artists' Alley and Writers Block, as well as our pick of favorite panels at the show, not to mention the best places to eat near the Javits (and IN the Javits!), the whole bathroom situation at NYCC, and a map of all the iconic comic book locations you can visit while in NYC.
