This year, New York Comic Con will broadcast its headlining panels for free all four days of the conference, starting this afternoon and continuing through Sunday.
ReedPop, the parent company of NYCC, has announced that both its Main Stage and Empire Stage panels will be available for real-time watching online via a new agreement with production partner Paragon Creative Agency, who previously managed the Grammys livestream.
Taking place in person at the Javits Center from October 17-20, the sessions that will be livestreamed include:
- Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” Season Eight Sneak Peek | Thursday, October 17, 4:45 PM
- “Outlander” Season Seven Part Two Preview | Thursday, October 17, 6:30 PM
- Nickelodeon’s “SpongeBob SquarePants” 25th Anniversary Celebration | Friday, October 18, 11:00 AM
- “The Simpsons” | Saturday, October 19, 11:30 AM
- Max Original Animation Presents: “Creature Commandos” | Saturday, October 19, 4:45 PM
- Fox Entertainment Presents “Grimsburg” | Sunday, October 20, 12:45 PM

Watch the livestreams here.
According to a press release by ReedPop, “Viewers can watch via two concurrent streams for both the Main and Empire stages each day on Popverse, ReedPop’s pop culture news site, and ReedPop’s YouTube pages and NYCC social channels, as well as on our media partner’s Screenrant, Collider, CBR, The Illuminerdi and Nerdist’s social channels. Once the livestreams have ended, Popverse members will have VOD access to rewatch their favorite panels and iconic moments from past ReedPop conventions in the ReedPop video archive.”
Paul Bettany, Josh Brolin, Hayley Atwell, Matt Smith, Marisa Tomei, Tom Glynn-Carney, “Clerks” combo Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, and cast members from “Starship Troopers,” “Shameless,” and “Futurama” have all been announced to attend panels at NYCC over the course of four days.
If you don’t want to sit around watching livestreams, this video with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog from 2008 might bring back some of that old comic-con nostalgia.
Would Triumph the Insult Comic dog trigger today’s activist-comic professionals? Is the comics industry looking to reintroduce a new “Comics Code Authority” that blacklists any unapproved creator or content?
2008 @ SDCC a simpler time. No way this kind of humor is allowed today. https://t.co/OJFtqqJqDV pic.twitter.com/BRKznV4Qfp
