Archie Comics at New York Comic Con 2013
Those attending New York Comic Con this year will have some spooky surprises in store when they visit Archie Comics at Booth #1936 for some early Halloween fun! If you visit the booth any day during the con dressed up as a zombified Archie character, you can win prizes. Fifty special issues will be given away per day to convention-goers dressed as a zombified recognizable Archie character; every cosplayer will get an exclusive Afterlife With Archie #1 variant. If your costume is exceptionally well done, you’ll get the chance to win the entire 2014 Archie Comics line! CLICK HERE to find out how.
Make sure you follow Archie Comics on social media for the codeword of the day. The first fifty people to tell us the correct codeword at the booth each day will receive a free convention exclusive button!
In addition there will be two con-exclusive comics at the booth: Afterlife With Archie #1 and Sonic the Hedgehog #251 (the last chapter of Sonic/Mega Man: Worlds Collide).
And of course, be sure to attend both of our panels to learn all the latest news and to receive FREE gift bags:
Even more reason to stop by the booth is a special 16p free giveaway preview of THE FOX which you can get signed by writer/artist Dean Haspiel.
All that plus be one of the first to try out the new Sonic the Hedgehog game Sonic Lost World, exclusively at the Archie booth at the SEAGA kiosk!
