Wizard to Work With New York Con

Although not much of a surprise to anyone who noticed Wizard had been selling tickets on a dedicated page at their own con site as if the show was one of theirs, Wizard and Reed Exhibitions announced their plans to work together for the forthcoming New York Comic-Con, which honestly sounds a lot like a Wizard show with every guest they announce.

This is a huge face-saving move for Wizard, after last year's Atlanta con fiasco (Wizard withdrew from a reservation at a convention center after complaints of competition with the popular Charlotte Heroes Con, then tried to act like they had no plans in the first place) and after reported weak attendance at the Boston and Texas conventions. Many thought Wizard had been trumped by Reed in that they had been working their way up to planning a New York convention; now, in a sense, they have one.

The con is set for February 24-26 at the Jacob Javits Center.

Here's that release, as a document:
